    Default Re: Applying for Naturalization with a Petty Theft Misdemeanor Charge

    A petty theft conviction - so long as it is only one! - is usually not enough to sink a naturalization application.

    Expect to be asked a lot of questions about it, and be prepared to provide copies of all documents related to the conviction.
