The term "crime involving moral turpitude" (CIMT) refers to a specific conviction in which a court of law has imposed upon an alien a "term of imprisonment in excess of 6 months (regardless of the extent to which the sentence was ultimately executed)." Congress made a clear distinction between LPRs and "nonpermanent residents" in this regard. In the case of an LPR, the CIMT must be committed within 5 years of his or her admission to the United States. However, despite the obvious differences, both classes of aliens are statutorily entitled to a waiver of inadmissibility and cancellation of removal, so long as "the maximum penalty possible for the crime of which the alienw[ere convicted ... did not exceed imprisonment for one year..." (emphasis added). Any period of incarceration or confinement that was subsequently added due to probation/parole violation plainly does not count. If the total period served inside a penal institution was less than 180 days (i.e., 6 months), the LPR is manifestly entitled to U.S. citizenship, provided that the remaining citizenship requirements are fulfilled. Such person may be naturalized at any time, whether in the United States or (in particular cases) at any U.S. embassy around the world.
