A Careful Evaluation Of Your Situation

Becoming a U.S. citizen is a lifelong dream for many people. For some, however, the act of applying for citizenship can put their residency at risk, and in some cases, can even lead to deportation. If you were convicted of a crime abroad or if you have a criminal record in the U.S., in some circumstances you could lose your legal residency status. In cases such as these, you may be better off retaining your permanent resident status rather than applying for U.S. citizenship.

Steven C. Thal, P.A., can evaluate your situation and help you make the right decision.

Overcoming Obstacles To U.S. Citizenship
