Apply for a waiver of inadmissibility by submitting Form I-601 to USCIS with strong evidence of hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative.

You must show you meet all requirements for naturalization aside from the inadmissibility, including good moral character and continuous residence.

You cannot apply for citizenship until your inadmissibility is waived and any required green card process is complete.

After receiving your green card and fulfilling residency requirements, file Form N-400 to apply for U.S. citizenship.

An Immigration attorneys can help strengthen your case, especially for complex waivers based on criminal history, fraud, or unlawful presence.
