  • Does he have a chance?

    My husband 1st citizenship application has been denied last year for “lack of good moral character”. He got a DUI in January 2005. USCIS said, in the denial letter, that he hasn’t 5 consecutive years of clean record. In January 2010 it will be 5 years from his DUI. We are thinking about applying again this coming September, 3 months before as said. But we are afraid of a new denial which will be dramatic for us. My green card depends on that citizenship. I have a pending I-130 since February 2006.
    Does my husband have a real change to be naturalized this time? ?
    I am really stressed about this situation. Thanks.

    The three months early exception is for the required period of residency, not the period of good moral character. If you apply in September 2009, the January 2005 conviction will still within the previous five years of filing and this may result in another denial.

    I would suggest waiting until January 2010. At least schedule an appointment with an information officer at the CIS office and discuss the situation.
