Whether someone who entered unlawfully in the past but received a green card through amnesty can apply for citizenship
I entered the U.S. unlawfully in the past but received my green card through amnesty. Now that I’m older, I’d like to get citizenship — I’d like to know if I’m eligible to apply.
Someone who entered unlawfully in the past but received a green card through amnesty is eligible to apply for citizenship. If you’ve maintained your green card for 5 years or more, please have a brief consultation with an immigration attorney and apply for citizenship.
