    Consequences of Restraining Order

    What is the name of your state? CA
    I am a permanent resident for 3 years.
    How will having a Restraining Order affect my status as a green card holder and chances to get US citizenship in a due time (in a few years).
    I am just considering whether to fight an unfair RO or just spare a hassle.
    Thanks,
    Have a great day!

    Here are some of the "things" that the CIS considers "not helpful" for someone seeking citizenship. See if you fit in any of the categories:

    * has committed and been convicted of one or more crimes involving moral turpitude
    * has committed and been convicted of 2 or more offenses for which the total sentence imposed was 5 years or more
    * has committed and been convicted of any controlled substance law, except for a single offense of simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana
    * has been confined to a penal institution during the statutory period, as a result of a conviction, for an aggregate period of 180 days or more
    * has committed and been convicted of two or more gambling offenses
    * is or has earned his or her principal income from illegal gambling
    * is or has been involved in prostitution or commercialized vice
    * is or has been involved in smuggling illegal aliens into the United States
    * is or has been a habitual drunkard
    * is practicing or has practiced polygamy
