Which of the following is NOT a consequence of immigration violations?

Deportation
Fines
Criminal charges
Immediate naturalization

The correct answer is: Immediate naturalization

Immediate naturalization is indeed not a consequence of immigration violations. In fact, immigration violations typically hinder a person’s ability to attain legal status, including naturalization. To be eligible for naturalization, an individual must demonstrate good moral character, which can be compromised by immigration violations, such as unlawful entry or overstaying a visa. Consequences such as deportation, fines, and criminal charges are direct repercussions of immigration violations. Deportation involves the removal of an individual from a country due to legal infractions concerning immigration laws. Fines can be imposed as penalties for unlawful activities related to immigration status. Criminal charges can arise from serious violations, which may also lead to incarceration or affect future immigration options. Overall, while violations have various serious repercussions, obtaining immediate naturalization is not one of them.
