How to prove good moral character during Immigration process when applying for citizenship?

Anonymous Aug 2, 2012 Immigration 2 views 3 answers

I had family abuse restraining order 2 years ago from my ex. I am applying under 5 years quota. That is the only one in my record. There is no police record or arrest. But how to I prove to USCIS that besides this restraining order I am a person of good moral character?

Restraining orders can be a serious problem. You definitely need to consult with a lawyer in your area.

I agree with my colleagues. You should retain an experienced immigration lawyer, whether myself or one of my colleagues, to review all the facts, advise you, and handle the case.
