I received my LPR on December 2001.

Have traveled 3 times internationally last being 2002, have misplaced my passport and since then have been self-employed with bare minimum income.

Never filed for tax returns as I never made more the 7'000 a year and past 3 years zero income. Living with friends and family.

have no criminal records,(not even a parking ticket), nor have taken anything on charity or otherwise.

Have nothing in my name as such. No house, utility bill, phone bill etc.

Now, If I do pay the back taxes (if any) and the fines (if any), can I legally able to apply for my citizenship? Or am I not eligible?

Will me not having filed any tax returns in the past make a problem? since I have a choice to either renew my LPR (10 years) or apply for citizenship.

Appreciate your input on this..

Yes, you are eligible to become a naturalized USC. What I would do in your case is file amended tax returns NOW, even with a $0 in the total where applicable. THEREAFTER order tax transcripts.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
