    Default Naturalizing With an Unresolved Deportation Proceeding

    Just over thirty years ago, a man was subject deportation proceedings. He was not in custody. He was told that he would soon receive a decision. He never heard anything.

    The next year he was approved for LPR status, and has successfully renewed his Green Card several times.

    He is now planning to seek citizenship, and he is wondering if the unresolved deportation / removal proceeding is going to come back to haunt him.

    Default Re: Naturalizing With an Unresolved Deportation Proceeding

    While it would make sense for him to consult an immigration lawyer, odds are that he did receive a decision on the removal proceedings and that there was some reason why he did not receive it -- perhaps he moved and didn't update his address in a timely manner, or perhaps it was somehow misdirected. Perhaps we was represented and it went to his lawyer, and for some reason they didn't connect to discuss the outcome.

    It is all-but-impossible to believe that he would have obtained LPR status had the decision not not come back favorably.
