Policy alert: Revocation of Naturalization Referrals
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is issuing policy guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual on referring cases for revocation of naturalization (commonly referred to as “denaturalization”) under section 340 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
What this means
- This updates material the agency had already published. It changes existing guidance rather than creating a new requirement on its own. (classification: updated_information)
Derived from this event’s own recorded fields — not written by a model, and not an interpretation of anyone’s case.
Who is affected
The document does not name specific countries or visa categories in its scope language. Read the original to confirm whether it applies to a particular case.
Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.
- A policy alert is USCIS guidance to its own officers, not a regulation. It governs how USCIS adjudicates, and it can be revised or withdrawn without rulemaking.
- The updates page does not publish an effective date. Where the guidance states one, it is in the linked document — this event does not assert an effective date it cannot cite.
- Affected Policy Manual sections, as listed by USCIS: 12 USCIS-PM L (Citizenship and Naturalization).
