happy new year all . wish you one of the greatest years in your life
my biggest concern is that i’ve been unemployed since many years . landed as a refugee,studied most of the time but never been on job because of disability.
i had an accident then i have been on welfare for about a year.
due to all these unfortunate events i fear of applying for citizenship. since i passed the 3 years period.
i heard that it could it be refused such cases as mine for reasons ( unemployment + welfare).and will be deported
what do you recommand me please. i am definitely desperate at this time.
note that i have a clean criminal record too
any insights will be appreciated
thank you

That's not true.
Unemployment and welfare are not ground for deportation. Only crimes are...
Unemployed people apply for citizenship all the time, and routinely get their application approved.
