This webinar covers various issues involving good moral character that frequently arise in naturalization cases. We will discuss discretionary and statutory bars to proving good moral character and the balance test that CIS must employ when deciding if an applicant who is not statutorily ineligible has good moral character. In this discussion, we will also cover how failure to register for the selective service, failure to pay child support, failure to file income taxes, illegal voting, false claim to U.S. citizenship, alien smuggling, and other issues affect one’s naturalization application. We will not discuss admissions or convictions of crimes during this session. This webinar is appropriate for practitioners who are new to naturalization, as well as those who are experienced and need a review or fine-tuning.

Presenters:

• Eric Cohen, Executive Director, Immigrant Legal Resource Center
