Porsha Williams’ husband, Simon Guobadia, denied US citizenship due to criminal past – felonies for bank fraud, credit card fraud

Karma has a way of coming to roost.

Simon Guobadia left his wife for the fame and light of being with Porsha Williams. It appears that spotlight on his life has him being denied of what he wants most while revealing his character to the world.

Linda Ikeji reports: Simon Guobadia, the current husband of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA)’ star Porsha Williams, 42, was recently denied U.S. citizenship due to his criminal past which involves numerous felonies for bank fraud, credit card fraud, identity fraud, and more.

On January 11, a 13-page petition was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia: Atlanta Division. The civil action filing was regarding Simon Iyore Guobadia against the Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, UR Mendoza Jaddou, and the Director of the USCIS Atlanta Field Office, Shineka Miller.

According to the documents, Guobadia, 59, applied for U.S. citizenship and naturalization, but it was denied on July 27, 2022. Subsequently, he requested a hearing, and the denial was “reaffirmed.”

It is reported that Guobadia, a citizen of Nigeria, first came to the U.S. on August 11, 1982, and overstayed his visitor visa. In 1985, his citizenship application was denied and he was declared deportable, so he voluntarily left the States on December 28, 1985.

But it wasn’t over… Guobadia wasn’t determined on living the American dream.

In June 1986 he again overstayed his 6-month visitor visa to America.  Simon Guobadia was arrested and pleased guilty to felonious bank and credit card fraud In September 1987,

In January 1989,  Simon Guobadia was arrested again for unauthorized use of a vehicle and arrested again  in May 1990 for fraud. Still not deterred from getting money under any means necessary, In January 1991, Guobadia committed another felony offense for credit card fraud in  January, 1991.  By April 1991, an immigration judge ordered him to be deported AGAIN.

On March 4, 1992, Guobadia was deported and physically removed from the States.

You would’ve thought his American Dreams were over for him.

Before being deported, Simon pulled another slick move. On October 24, 1988, Guobadia was accused of using a different identity to seek temporary resident status under the Social Agricultural Worker (SAW) program. Despite omitting his criminal past and misrepresenting himself on the application, it was approved and he received a registration card as a temporary American resident on July 25, 1991.

After a waiting period, Simon Guobadia became a permanent resident on April 27, 1992 — 26 days after he had been deported under his other undisclosed identity.  (This man has top notch manifestation skills)

Although Simon won, he decided to push his limits even more.  On December 22, 2016, Guobadia applied for naturalization under a second identity, but was denied due to his “temporary resident status being unlawfully granted.”

On December 31, 2020, he filed another application and was denied U.S. citizenship again due to him not being “lawfully admitted for permanent residence.”

On October 24, 2022, Guobadia requested a hearing, and his denial was reaffirmed on November 15, 2022.

Guobadia then married ‘RHOA‘ star Porsha Williams.

On March 13, 2023, Simon Guobadia filed an instant complaint, asking the Court to vacate the denial and grant him U.S. citizenship. However, on January 11, 2024, United States District Judge Steve C. Jones ordered that Guobadia’s case seeking naturalization be dismissed.

Obviously Simon refuses to be broke no matter what.  What many don’t know is that you don’t have to deny your character values in order to achieve wealthy.  You can achieve wealthy without harming another soul by communing with God.
