Update: I-751 approved today (4/23/26). No real movement on N-400 but I did see a bunch of API updates on both cases yesterday so I assume they were probably related to the underlying COA change post 751 approval.  

Congrats! Please fill out your Timeline

What day last week if you don't mind?  And, what's your Field Office?  Very happy for you.  I think you're the first in our little group.

Hello, my wife filed her N-400 in January, and based on current processing times, we expect her interview soon. However, she was involved in an incident this past Thursday. She left our 15-month-old child in the car briefly to make a quick purchase. A bystander called 911; the police arrived, detained her, and charged her with a felony under PC 273a(a). Our baby is fine and suffered no injuries. We are currently seeking legal counsel and have the following questions:

  1. How will this affect her citizenship application? Is a denial inevitable?

  2. If the charge is reduced to a misdemeanor, will it still negatively impact her path to citizenship?

Any suggestions, comments, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. We are devastated and unsure of how to proceed.

This is way beyond VJ’s pay grade. I hope she finds an immigration lawyer in addition to a criminal defense lawyer. It’s best to have both working together, since a criminal defense lawyer may not know much about immigration, especially now that she has already filed her N-400.

Does she already have court dates? Hopefully she can sort everything out quickly before the N-400 interview. In my humble peasant opinion, when she has her N-400 interview, she should just show up, be honest about the situation, and hope for the best.


this is just me talking It will probably be considered an issue related to good moral character. Given the current climate, getting her N-400 denied might be the least of her problems. What if the conviction affects her LPR status as well? That’s something to think about. Hopefully, it won’t impact her LPR status.
If it doesn’t, at least she will still be a green card holder and can apply for citizenship again five years after the conviction is resolved. By then, hopefully immigration laws will be different.

 

keep us posted and good luck. Sorry it happened to you and your family
