 What is good moral character? There is no statutory
definition of what good moral character means. The
INA only defines what good moral character does not
mean and what individuals will not be allowed to
establish good moral character.
 Check for criminal history.
 The grounds of deportation and inadmissibility
include more areas than does good moral character,
so a person might have good moral character but still
be deportable or inadmissible.
