US Naturalization & Immigration
Immigration Desk
Eleven named sub-domains built around the naturalization matter specifically — eligibility, the interview, the appeal path if it's denied, and what puts a granted citizenship at risk after the fact.
Naturalization Eligibility & Good Moral Character
The five-branch INA §316 test, applied against your actual residence and physical-presence timeline.
Application Preparation & Evidentiary Assembly
Building the N-400 file and evidentiary record so it survives a Request for Evidence rather than inviting one.
Interview & Examination Procedure
English proficiency, civics, and sworn testimony — and what has to match the file you already filed.
Criminal & Inadmissibility Bars
Which dispositions are a real statutory bar under the INA's categorical framework, and which only look like one.
Administrative Appeal & N-336 Hearing
The 30-day window after a denial, and what a de novo hearing before a different officer actually changes.
Federal Court Review & Mandamus
What happens when USCIS simply doesn't decide — the 120-day clock and the district court's concurrent jurisdiction.
Derivative, Acquired & Military Naturalization
Citizenship paths that don't run through a standard N-400 filing at all.
Underlying Green Card Defects
Whether the green card itself was validly obtained — the question USCIS revisits before it grants citizenship.
Selective Service Compliance
Whether a missed Selective Service registration was knowing and willful, and what it means for eligibility.
Removal Proceedings Interplay
When a naturalization file surfaces a deportability ground and the case turns into removal exposure.
Denaturalization & Revocation
Federal suits to revoke citizenship already granted, on grounds such as illegal procurement or concealment.
