2 DUI and applying for citizenship?

Question

I am a resident since 2002 and dont have to renew till 2015. I am in my sixth year and would like to apply for citizenship. my issue is that 2 years ago i had my second dui which was not a felony.

Should I apply now or should i wait a few more years? What would you do.

Obviusly I dont drink anymore and became a very responsable individual and have a great job and make excellent money.

Answer 1

If I broke into your house twice, and got caught twice while taking your utilities to make my home better...  would you invite me in 2015

Answer 2

Two DUIs are going to be a problem under the "good moral character" requirement for citizenship.  I do not think that two years is enough time to demonstrate that you have changed your ways.  Remember, the INS agent who assesses you has discretion as to whether he/she even passes your application on for review.  I would suggest that you wait for a few more years and then apply.  You can certainly talk to a lawyer to see what has happened to others in your shoes.

Answer 3

You will be deported if you re-apply,,,,,,and will at least lose your job if you stay.

Answer 4

You need to be sent home!

Answer 5

Sorry, but I do not think you are a good candidate for citizenship at this time.

Answer 6

You must wait for 5 years from the date of your last offense/conviction to file for citizenship. If you do so before the 5 yrs your application will be denied. You must show 5 yrs of good "behavior", no arrests, no charges, no convictions. Good luck and stay sober.
