Messing's Immigration Factoids ™
  Plea bargaining crimes of non-citizens requires careful attention to immigration consequences. Some crimes automatically result in deportation, but closely related crimes may have completely different immigration results. Convictions where legal advice about immigration consequences was ignored or deficiently given can sometimes be legally set aside.

Sample Certificate of Naturalization

A naturalized citizen receives a certificate of naturalization from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security after the oath of citizenship is administered at a naturalization ceremony. Such ceremonies are held periodically. Until the oath of citizenship is administered, an approved naturalization application is subject to revocation, for example, in the event of discovery of a disqualifying criminal conviction.

If you are seeking naturalization, or your application for naturalization has run into difficulty, or you believe that you may have difficulty applying for naturalization and want to schedule a confidential consultation, please contact Messing Law Offices to schedule an initial consultation.

A sample without photograph and signatures appears below. The certificate also has a watermark that can be observed when it is backlit as a protection against forgery, as shown in the second image.

Effective September 30, 1997 via interim rule published at 62 Fed. Reg. 51001-51006, the Certificate of Naturalization and the very similar in appearance Certificate of Citizenship are no longer valid for employment verification even though they evidence citizenship. A U.S. Passport is valid for employment eligibility purposes and can be obtained on the basis of a Certificate of Naturalization by applying to the Department of State for one. Many local post offices and courthouses act as agencies to obtain passports. Click here to view a sample US passport.


An earlier version of the certificate of naturalization was issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the Department of Justice prior to the creation of the Citizenship and Immigration Service of the Department of Homeland Security. It is almost identical as to appearance and watermarks except as to the issuing agency.
