USCIS retoma investigaciones de vecindario para solicitantes de ciudadanía
Nuevas investigaciones de vecindario para quienes buscan la ciudadanía, puede incluir el proceso de ciudadanía
ATLANTA.- El USCIS retoma las llamadas investigaciones de vecindario a quienes soliciten la ciudadanía estadounidense.
El anuncio lo realizó el USCIS a través de un memorando emitido días atrás.
USCIS reinicia con investigaciones de vecindario a los solicitantes de ciudadanía
Es mediante el memorando PM-602-0189, titulado Resumption of Personal Investigations of Aliens Applying for Naturalization (INA 335(a)),
La agencia restablece una práctica inactiva desde 1991.
Estas investigaciones buscan confirmar que los solicitantes cumplen con los requisitos de naturalización.
El memorando, emitido bajo la Sección 335(a) de la Ley de Inmigración y Nacionalidad (INA), autoriza a USCIS a realizar entrevistas con vecinos, empleadores o conocidos.
El objetivo es garantizar que los candidatos demuestren residencia continua, buen carácter moral y apego a la Constitución de Estados Unidos.
¿Qué implican las investigaciones de vecindario de USCIS?
Las investigaciones de vecindario para ciudadanía no serán automáticas, ya que el USCIS evaluará cada caso individualmente, según la evidencia en el expediente del solicitante.
Si faltan pruebas claras, los oficiales podrán contactar a personas cercanas al solicitante, entre ellas vecinos, compañeros de trabajo o empleadores.
En algunos casos, USCIS solicitará cartas testimoniales de personas que conozcan bien al solicitante; las cartas ayudarán a verificar la información proporcionada y fortalecer el proceso de naturalización.
Un Cambio tras Décadas de Pausa
Las investigaciones de vecindario estuvieron en desuso desde 1991, cuando USCIS optó por centrarse en verificaciones de antecedentes del FBI.
El memorando PM-602-0189, firmado por el director Joseph Edlow, revive esta práctica para intensificar el escrutinio de las solicitudes.
Críticos argumentan que estas investigaciones consumen muchos recursos y rara vez aportan información relevante.
Pero USCIS defiende su utilidad para corroborar el carácter moral y la residencia de los solicitantes.
Impacto en los solicitantes de ciudadanía
Los solicitantes deben prepararse para posibles entrevistas a su entorno. USCIS no aplicará las investigaciones en todos los casos, pero la posibilidad existe.
Proporcionar documentación completa y cartas testimoniales sólidas puede reducir la necesidad de estas verificaciones.
Cómo Prepararse para el Proceso
Para evitar complicaciones, los solicitantes deben reunir pruebas claras de su residencia continua y buen carácter moral, como:
- Contratos de alquiler
- Facturas de servicios
- Certificados laborales
Las cartas testimoniales de personas confiables también son clave.
USCIS publicará una guía actualizada en su sitio oficial www.uscis.gov con detalles sobre estas investigaciones.
Mientras tanto, se recomienda contactar a un abogado de inmigración para orientación específica.
Guía del USCIS
USCIS planea emitir una guía detallada sobre las investigaciones de vecindario en las próximas semanas.
Los solicitantes deben estar atentos a las actualizaciones y preparar un expediente sólido.
