Possibly, not, but I need to know more. The fact that you were allowed to register to vote doesn't mean that you are a US citizen. Even more, if you registered and voted while not a US citizen, this can be used against you by the USCIS.

I suggest you consult an immigration lawyer in private (phone or in-person) for a legal consultation and advice.

If you would like to request a confidential legal advice or schedule telephone or email consultation regarding your specific situation, please email me directly at [email protected] and I will send you a Questionnaire. Office Telephone line is 1-402-210-2040 (please EMAIL first to schedule a consultation appointment). I am an immigration attorney and work with clients from all States and globally.
