How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the statute “quite plainly requires marriage to a citizen not only for three years prior to filing the petition, but also at the time of naturalization”
• “Because petitioner is not currently married to an American citizen [after his divorce], he no longer falls within the literal purview of section [1430(a)] and he is ineligible for naturalization under that section.”
• “In light of the fact that petitioner was seeking the privilege of citizenship and in doing so knowingly provided [INS] with material misinformation, the district court could properly conclude, despite petitioner’s testimony to the contrary, that petitioner had the necessary intent.”
