Question: Our new potential client, Francesca, is from Italy and became an LPR in 2003 through her work as a graphic designer for an international company based in the United States. Her work requires her to travel a great deal, and so she is frequently out of the country on business. She now wants to naturalize so that she can vote in the 2024 presidential election as she has been paying close attention and wants desperately to vote for her favorite candidate. She has been so interested in politics that she went ahead and submitted her voter registration in 2017. She just moved to Seattle last Sunday. Although she is eager to apply, she suffers from superficial siderosis, a disability which prevents her from absorbing and retaining new information. On the naturalization intake form, she lists her absences as follows:
2018, 90 days
2017, 183 days
2017, 30 days
2017, 120 days
2016, 30 days
2014, 90 Days
2009, Mar-Nov: 245 Days
Francesca also lists on her intake form that she has no criminal history, other than a single speeding ticket in May of 2016
write an inter-office memorandum utilizing the IRAC format to respond to the questions below:
1. Has Francesca been an LPR long enough to be eligible for naturalization?
2. Does she meet the physical presence requirement?
3. How about the continuous residence requirement?
4. If there are issues, how can she overcome them?
5. Are there other issues with the timing of her application?
6. Do you think she will encounter any problems with demonstrating her Good Moral Character?
7. Are there any concerns with her having been registered to vote?
8. How should she deal with the Civics Test requirement given her disability?
