Q: Can i still get my citizenship even if i decide to give custody of my kids to the other parents?
I am an immigrant and i have nobody here than my kids. I divorced due to abuse and still my ex trying hard to make my life harder. I feel like i am not stable financially and that my kids are suffering being with me. I have decided to change state and work hard till i get stable but the problem is, i have a 10 years greencard. Can i still get citizenship even if i don't have my kids with me?
A:
Hi, the requirements for US citizenship does not require having children even if the children are from your sponsoring spouse. If you have had your GC for up to 5 years and you do not have any criminal record, you are in a good position to apply for U.S citizenship. Let me know how I can help.
