Can I renew my Green Card if my citizenship is denied?
Can I renew my Green Card if my citizenship is denied? In general, even if there the denial of citizenship is possible for that person to keep with permanent residence, but there’s a risk of Green Card cancellation.
If you’ve been a permanent resident for the required number of years, you might now be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship. In most cases, the reasons that USCIS would deny a citizenship application have nothing to do with eligibility for a Green Card and thus would not result in deportation.
It’s possible to be denied citizenship and go right back to being a permanent resident, it usually happens when USCIS simply denies the application and the person goes back to live as it was before.
In fact, if the reason for denial is that USCIS discovers, during the review of the applicant’s immigration file, that the applicant did not qualify for a Green Card in the first place, then USCIS could not only deny citizenship but also place the person in removal proceedings.
This happens usually if the applicant committed fraud in obtaining the Green Card.
On the other hand, if USCIS discovers that the applicant spent much time (180 days or more) outside the U.S. and that he or she appears to have abandoned U.S. residency or has committed a crime that results in the person being deportable from the United States, it can not only deny citizenship but send the person to immigration court for removal proceedings.
Can you apply for citizenship again after being denied?
If your application is denied because of serious offenses, you might not be eligible to apply again. However, if your application is denied for other less important reasons such as failing the naturalization test, you may appeal the decision or reapply again after five years.
