Naturalization question when deemed "inadmissible" prior to Green Card

[Chirpie 0]

Hi there, i just have a quick question on the naturalization form. it asks the 2 questions:

1. Have you ever been ordered to be removed, excluded, or deported from the United States?

2. Have you ever applied for any kind of relief from removal, exclusion, or deportation?

Here is the situation. I am married to a US citizen (we married here in the US when i was here on a tourist visa). At one point in the immigration process i was deemed "inadmissible to the United States under section 212(a)(6)© misrepresentation at the time of entry into the US" since we got married a week after i entered the country (after having been together for years). We hired a lawyer and had to file the 1-601 demonstrating "extreme hardship" to my spouse if i was not admitted to the US. The filing was successful and I was then given a Green Card.

I am now applying for naturalization and my question now is, am i supposed to say "yes" to the above two questions? or "no"?

Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

This is not a typical thing. Your best bet is to consult with an immigration attorney.

The answer to both questions is yes. They already no the answer. This is basically a test of your honesty. Having been accused of "cheating" once this would not be the time to try to get lucky.

Wait.

The question is "have you received an order/letter that you will be deported from USA? If you did not receive any document/letter regarding removal, then I would say NO.

The 2nd question since it is related from the 1st question, the answer would be NO.

Thanks everyone. Seems to me like i should talk to an immigration attorney - something i was trying to avoid as they're so expensive. thanks for all the help.

Best,

What is so hard about the question?

Did you get a deportation letter? Were you in deportation proceedings? Did you face an Immigration Judge? If you did not get those deportation letter or face an Immigration Judge, the answer is NO to both questions.

Don't think too much.

However, it is your choice. Just make sure you get a reputable immigration lawyer. Other's here may recommend a good lawyer for you.

You need an attorney to answer two questions that are so simple that a caveman can answer them?

The correct answers are yes and yes.

And for the record, all of this is already in your A-file, so it's no surprise, no news, just a formality.
