Q: Can u avoid deportation from U.S. if u have clean record, no problem ,paying taxes with green card ?
Hello, I have had a green card since 2015 through my parent's immigrant classification as a child of an alien. My parent obtained residency through my uncle, who is a citizen. However, my parent never entered the country for financial circumstances. I have been living here in the United States without any issues since then, only leaving the country for short holidays every summer and returning promptly. In January, I applied for US citizenship, and I had the interview last April, which I successfully passed. However, the officer informed me that he couldn't make a decision because I probably should have entered the country with my parent. A week ago, I received a denial notice for naturalization, explaining that I should have entered the country with my parent,my parent never entered.
The notice states that if I believe I can overcome the grounds for this denial, I may submit a request for a hearing on Form N-336."
what should I do ? Thank you
A: You should consult with an immigration attorney who would have to review the denial to determine if USCIS is legally incorrect in their reasoning; you only have 30 days (33 days if mailed) from the date of the denial to file the N-336.
