    I’m a 3 DUI offender. Will this be an issue when applying for citizenship?
    I’ve been a legal US resident for almost 20-25 years that I’ve been living in the US. Bad on me, that I never applied for my citizenship before my run-ins with the law.
    In the past 15 years I’ve managed to get 4 DUI’s and have taken care of all the legal circumstances for them.

    I want to apply for my citizenship but I feel hesitant as I fear that I might get deported or get denied my citizenship due to my 4 DUI’s.

    Would the 4 DUI’s be a great issue/problem when applying for my citizenship in California?

    Keep yourself free from DUIs for 5 years, and then apply for naturalization.
