[Title] => Persons with certain disabilities may obtain oath waiver for naturalization
[Summary] => In the past, the oath of citizenship was required for all naturalization applicants. The failure to fulfill this requirement could be a ground for denial of naturalization. Certain disabled applicants were unable to become citizens because they could not personally express the intent or voluntary assent to the oath requirement.

[Title] => Is it ‘safe’ for me to apply for naturalization?
[Summary] => Dear Atty. Gurfinkel:
I was petitioned by my parent as "single", but I was actually married. After getting my greencard, I returned to the Philippines, and married my spouse a second time.
I was also convicted of some crimes in the U.S., but, in my mind, those convictions are really no big deal. Besides, they were all expunged, so they should now be "erased" from my record.
