Hi all. This is a post for my husband. He’s an ADA in a small county in PA. We are hoping to transition to DC in the nearish future. He wants to stay in criminal law or venture into national security, but he’s not a US citizen and won’t be for at least 4 more years. Does anyone have recommendations for work places that don’t require citizenship in the fields he’s looking at? So far we’ve been coming up empty.

Pretty sure a green card holder married to a U.S. citizen only needs three years to apply for citizenship. For now, criminal law firms or non-profits (including law schools)? As for security, maybe helping whistleblowers?

You’re right!! We had convinced ourselves it was a 5 year waiting period. Phew that’s much better. Also your suggestions are great! We will look into those options.

County DA in VA or MD?
