    Post Husband Applied For Citizenship - Can He Get It?

    Hi friends,

    My husband has lived in the U.S. for over 18 years as a Legal Permanent Resident.
    He applied for naturalization in January, and I just have some questions.

    He has had 3 DUIs and 1 charge of domestic violence (he didn't plead guilty or innocent, but rather some legal term that is in between, but he still served 6 weeks jail for it).

    The application states that any LPR who has had more than 360 days time in jail or has had an aggravated felony can apply.

    I'd just like to known that his charges are not felonies, and that he might still be able to get the naturalization process done.
    Could anyone clarify this?

    Thanks!

    I mean't it said they can't apply, sorry about the confusion.

    I just noticed your thread. You should have followed the instruction not to reply to your own thread, as you delayed your receipt of a response.

    He's applied, so you get to wait and see what happened. He's been convicted of four criminal offenses, and that could weigh heavily against him. (For the domestic violence, whatever his plea your post suggests that he was sentenced to jail, so he can expect the USCIS to regard it as a conviction.)

    In several of your threads you are urged to get help from an immigration lawyer. Given the number of issues you have, I think you should heed that advice.
