Revoke Citizenship? Can I be deported?

[intellect922]

This site is great. In the process of filing for my mother. Alot of questions have popped into my mind. The biggest one is relating to revocation of citizenship/deportation.

My situation: Moved to USA when i was 12 on green card. Father naturalized when I was 17, thus I automatically became a citizen also. I now have a US passport that was issued before I turned 18. (now 22, I am filing for my mother)

I have been reading about deportation, and I began to have all these feeling that what if someday something happens and the big bad USCIS wants to revoke my citizenship/deport me to a country I hardly even remember. what will happen.

since I automatically became a citizen through parent, I never had to apply or take oath. I read that the only way immigration can revoke citizenship is if you lied while getting your naturalization. Such as if you had a record and didnt tell them...etc. Since I never took oath or apply. (and had no criminal past) Can my naturalization be revoked? Is there any situation that can cause this (apart from if i take oath or position for another country)

Thanks.

if you are a Nazi - yes, it can be revoked...

definitely far from a Nazi. But i understand, that goes along with being part of a terrorist organization or an organization against America. But i meant more "normal" situations, like crime or problems with the law.

Unless they can prove that you intended to commit such crimes before becoming a citizen, no. Why do you worry so much? Are you planning on committing crimes?

That's income tax, not property tax.

I really dont know why i worry so much. I guess all my immigration stuff was done for me while I was young and ofcourse nobody told me about it. I was 12 and they said you have a Green card..and I yelled "YaY!!!, I'm going to america" then I was 17 and they said you are a citizen and I said "Whatever dude!". So just new to all this stuff. But thanks for answering a unique question. and yes I have filed my taxes.

Enjoy all your blessings. Stop being a whiner, asking about your citizenship being revoked, unless you plan to commit a heinous crime against the US govt...

You are fine, you became a US citizen through the proper channels. You mother is going to have her greencard application approved quickly, so you should not be stressed by nonsense. I am glad you filed taxes, because it could be ground for revoking your citizenship, especially from being a citizen of United Schickeh of Amsauce........

Relax..... dude... dude....
