You should absolutely mention it on your citizenship application. I highly urge you to retain an immigration attorney. You need to bring your final criminal disposition with you so the attorney can evaluate whether or not your conviction can negatively impact your application for naturalization. Good Luck.

If your only ground of inadmissibility is your illegal stay in the US and you are married to a US citizen, you may be able to benefit from the I-601A waiver if your permanent departure would cause extreme hardship to a US citizen spouse or parent. The difference between this provision and regular law is that in the past, the US citizen would have to first file the I-130 relative petition for you, have it approved, and you would then go overseas for a consular interview at which time you would be refused and then invited to apply for a waiver of inadmissibility on form I – 601. You would have to remain outside the US during the time that the waiver was being adjudicated. Under the I – 601A, you are allowed to remain in the US during the time that the waiver is being adjudicated and if approved, you would leave the country for an immigrant visa interview at your home consulate or embassy, at which time you would normally have a routine interview as the main bar to your admissibility would have been removed even before you left the States.

What should I fill as current status in I-765 form, I am on H1-B , H4 is not yet approved?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
You are not on H-4 as that application has not been approved. So for purposes of filling in current status on the I-765 form where it requests current immigration status, you should fill in H-1B as that visa status is the one that you are holding at this time.
