I will not be deported. I know that for a fact. Why do people insist on trying to scare you. This is a very common mistake, and most people who are up for deportation made the crazy mistake of voting. yes I can be deported, I am fully aware of that, but I know it will be brushed off once I show them my paper work. A young lady from Kenya is up for deporattion and is appealing her case to an immigration judge because she voted. Her sister, who had an interview with the same officer three days later was granted her citizenship. She was smart enough not to vote. I am not worried about it, and even if the IO was undecided, his supervisor would see that I never voted, it happend almost 10 years ago, and I have not done anything illegal in this country. I will be approved. I am fully aware that i could be deported, but in most cases, it's the people who voted that are in big trouble.
I would like to let everyone know that in most cases when you regesiter to vote you will be fine. I agree that each case is different and many factors can play a role in your denial of citizenship. If you vote, you are big big trouble.
a simple straight question,
if it wernt for voting, why did you resister in the first place?
You'll be fine as it happened outside statutory period. Bring a letter from election board that you are no longer registered as a voter to interview.Dear Friends - Can you please give me some adice. I looks like my case is similar to many of yours.
Here is my story...
I'm a US Green Card holder. I am eligible to apply for my citizenship but have run into a technical issue. I registered to vote in August 1999, but never voted. It was my 2nd semester at a community college in Chicago and the professor was encouraging everyone to register to vote. Taking his advice I too registered to vote not knowing that I was ineligible. I did sign the form which states "I hear by swear (or affirm) that I am a citizen of the United States..." Unfortunately I did not read the fine print before signing the application. As it was not my intension to vote, and I merely did it on the request of the professor, I did not vote.
I switched from a F1 to a H1 and then got my greencard. I am now eligible to apply for my citizenship, and would like your opinion on how I should deal with this situation.
To ensure my voter registration application was in fact processed I did request the “Chicago Board of Elections” for a copy of the application. I am also in the process of requesting them to “de register” or “cancel” my voter registration and provide me with a letter stating my voter registration has been cancelled and that I have never voted.
I would really appreciate your help.
Please advice if this is sufficent or should I request another letter with an explicit statement.
