New USCIS guidelines on good moral character for your citizenship petition #immigration

On November 4, 2026, USCIS issued guidance on how it evaluates good moral character when reviewing applications for U.S. citizenship. The guidance covers four situations USCIS may consider. Willfully failing to support dependents Engaging in fraud when applying for or receiving public benefits Failing to meet financial sponsorship obligations Deliberately avoiding self-sufficiency to continue receiving certain public benefits Lawfully receiving public benefits does not, by itself, prevent you from becoming a U.S. citizen. USCIS must evaluate the conduct and circumstances of each case. If you are preparing to apply for citizenship and have questions about how this guidance may apply to you, contact us to schedule a consultation. _________________________ We handle cases worldwide.
