    Default Applying For Citizenship With A Criminal Record

    I am applying for citizenship, but have 2 criminal records in the past. One was ten years ago in 1998 and it is getting expunge and one in 2002. One crime was a felony reduced to a misdemeanor spousal abuse in CA and the other crime was a misdemeanor for improper tag in FL. I am a LPR since 1982. I have a 6 yr old daughter who is a citizen. I have no criminal convictions since then. Will I be banned from getting my citizenship or even face deportation for having committed those crimes long ago. What should I do in this matter?

    Default Re: Applying For Citizenship With 2 Criminal Record

    You should hire an attorney and do exactly what s/he says.

    Crimes of domestic violence may trigger deportation.
