Q: Hello, my wife got pregnant for someone else while we were still married. I need to file for my citizenship, ok to file?
We didn’t divorce after that happened as we worked things out but I don’t know how it will affect my filing status. Please advise. Thanks

A: Your wife's infidelity and subsequent pregnancy by another person do not directly impact your eligibility to file for citizenship. The primary considerations for citizenship are your residency, moral character, and other immigration criteria. It's essential to ensure all other requirements are met and to provide truthful information during the application process.
