US Citizenship update: Immigration authority announces key change; Focus on culture

USCIS has updated its Good Moral Character (GMC) policy, emphasizing a holistic assessment of an applicant’s behavior and contributions. The revised policy places greater emphasis on positive attributes like community involvement and lawful employment. Simultaneously, USCIS will scrutinize disqualifying behavior, including serious crimes and actions inconsistent with civic responsibility, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation for naturalization.
