Legal Question in Immigration Law in Oregon

Re: Voting Question

As attorney Martin mentioned above, this is a very serious issue since making a false claim of citizenship in order to register to vote in any federal or state election not only is an immigration violation, but it is also is a felony offense punishable by imprisionment. Furthermore, even your permanent residence could potentially be revoked.

We would need to know certain other key information in order to determine if there are any exceptions that could apply to you. For example, how old were you when you became a permanent resident?

You should definitely seek the advice and assistance of a qualified immigration attorney before you proceed with your naturalization process.

Feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this matter further.

Good Luck!

Re: Voting Question

This is a very serious issue. Not only is falsely claiming U.S. citizenship (through voting or otherwise) a violation of immigration law, it is a criminal offense. You should seek an in-person consultation with an immigration attorney to explore your options.

There may be exceptions for your situation due to your long presence in the U.S. and military service. A thorough review of your situation and the law will be required.
