Naturalization Approval for Slovakian Client in Ohio – DUI Issue

CASE: N-400

APPLICANT: Slovakian

LOCATION: Ohio

ISSUES: Permanent Residency Based on Marriage; DUI within the past year

N-400 on behalf of Slovakian filed about three years after he obtained his permanent residency based on marriage. Good marriage, and major issue seem to be the DUI within the past year, which may affect the good moral character requirement which is essential in naturalization applications. The application was filed on April 19, 2010 with evidence of bona fide marriage. As to the criminal record, we argued that despite the DUI, our client does not have any other character issues, and is thus of good moral character for the past three years and is eligible for citizenship. The applicant was prepared by our office prior to the interview in Cleveland, and he was accompanied on July 9, 2010 at the Cleveland CIS office. Certified copies of the criminal record was also submitted. On August 5, 2010 his N-400 was approved. His oath taking is scheduled for August 20, 2010 in which he will be a U.S. Citizen.
