Could a DUI affect my citizenship application?
I’d like to know whether a DUI can negatively affect getting citizenship. One attorney told me it could cause problems, while a friend who’s also an attorney said it should be fine.
I’m not sure whether I should apply for citizenship.
DUI is considered a type of crime involving moral turpitude, so it can affect the outcome of a citizenship application. If you’re currently on probation, it would be best to wait until your probation period ends before considering this. Also, when applying for citizenship, you must answer “yes” to any related question.
