Did you know they re-investigate you when you apply for citizenship?
Marriage comes back to haunt alien 30 years later
Sunday, May 11, 2008
The Fresno Bee newspaper recently reported the case of an immigrant whose US citizenship application was denied and instead she was placed in removal/deportation proceedings. The reason was that over 30 years ago, she immigrated as an “unmarried” daughter of a lawful permanent resident (Category F-2B). The problem was that approximately one month before being issued her immigrant visa, she got married, but did not advise the Embassy of her marriage. (By law a person under petition in that particular family-based category must remain single up until the time that he or she enter the US and/or receives the green card.)…
…This alien had lived in the US for over 30 years as a green card holder. When she eventually applied for US citizenship, USCIS opened her immigration file and finally uncovered her marriage and determined that she was never entitled to her green card. And now she faces deportation.
Yes they do, and if you have any criminal background you will be deported, you have to be in good standing for at least 5 years.
In this lady case, he parent was a permanent residence at the time, a permanent residence cannot sponsor a married child, she should have just waited, they will revoke her Green card and send her home. She however can get a lawyer who can fight this case, and prove hardship to her citizen relative
