I got my citizenship!!

March 31, 2014

I was told that do not file a petition for Citizenship because immigration was going to issue a notice of action and start a removal proceeding against me based on the fact that I was convicted of domestic violence and possession of a firearm.

I knew two of my friends who ended in immigration court because of the fact that they filed for citizenship having convictions for domestic violence and firearm, and presently are facing removal proceedings.

Mrs. Phelps told me that she would obtain my citizenship as long as I pass the English and civic test. I was reluctant at first but then I agreed. I came to sign documents at Mrs. Phelps office and besides the N-400 form and evidence was a declaration of Mrs. Phelps with points and authorities and case law, and statutes, that were 10 pages long. I asked her what it was, she told me is your door to Citizenship.

At the time of the interview Mrs. Phelps realized that her documents have not been read by the adjudicator and when the adjudicator announced that my citizenship application was going to be denied and a NTA was going to be filed, Mrs Phelps start presenting her arguments and rejecting the adjudicators’s decision.

The supervisor was called, the case was sent for the attorney’s of the service to review, and after 2 months of agony, I received\ the news that I was going to become a Citizen of the United States.

I called Mrs. Phelps in tears, she already knew, and I just told her that I will always have her in my heart and at the time I had the opportunity to tell any body my history I will be more than glad to do it. This was the time I had to share with all the people my experience.
