The question of who has good moral character under US law is not easy to answer. Good moral character does not mean moral excellence. However, if you have a criminal record; have failed to pay required family support; have had problems with alcohol or drugs; have been involved in illegal gambling or prostitution; have failed to pay your taxes; have failed to register with the Selective Service; or have lied to USCIS to gain immigration benefits, you may fail the good moral character requirement.
