USCIS formalizes criteria for denaturalization referrals

USCIS has publicly confirmed the criteria it uses to refer cases for revocation of U.S. citizenship, focusing on behaviors such as fraud, concealment, or material misrepresentation during naturalization. This marks a formalization of existing practice, potentially signaling increased enforcement against naturalized citizens. The change matters as it clarifies the legal thresholds and may affect naturalized citizens' status security.
