The question is what happened with the pot violations and whether you pleaded guilty. The law appears to be moving more strictly in the area of venues under which convictions and pleas of guilty can count in immigration enforcement. There was a recent case in which a Municipal Court decision was actually upheld against the alien. The law allows waiver for one pot conviction but not three. You may wish to have a consultation with a knowledgeable immigration lawyer prior to taking any further actions towards naturalization.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
