Past Arrest and US Citizenship?

A criminal record doesn't automatically block your path to citizenship, but USCIS will consider it. Here's what matters:

  • Offense Severity & Timing: More serious crimes or recent arrests raise more concerns.

  • Rehabilitation Efforts: Show steps you've taken to improve (e.g., counseling, community service).

  • Honesty is Key: Disclose everything - hiding arrests can lead to application denial or deportation.

Unsure? Consult an Immigration Attorney! They can assess your situation and guide you through the naturalization process.
