What Is U.S. Citizenship?
U.S. citizenship provides individuals with the full rights and privileges of being a member of the United States, including the right to vote, work without restrictions, and access government benefits. Naturalization is the process by which lawful permanent residents (green card holders) can apply to become U.S. citizens. This process can be complicated, and having a skilled immigration lawyer by your side can help ensure that your application is successful.

How We Can Help:

• Eligibility Assessment: We will determine whether you meet the eligibility requirements for naturalization, which typically include being a lawful permanent resident for at least 5 years (3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), having good moral character, being able to speak and understand English, and passing a civics test on U.S. history and government.
  
  
• Filing the Naturalization Application (Form N-400): Our attorneys will assist you in completing the Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization), ensuring that all required information is accurate, and guide you in submitting it to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
  
  
• Preparing for the Citizenship Interview: One of the most critical parts of the naturalization process is the citizenship interview. We will help you prepare for the interview, including reviewing your application, practicing for the civics test, and ensuring you are confident and ready for the questions from the USCIS officer.
  
  
• Civics and English Test Preparation: If you are required to take the civics and English language tests as part of the naturalization process, we offer resources and tips to help you pass the exams with ease.
  
  
• Assisting with Special Cases: If you have any complications in your case, such as criminal history, past immigration violations, or travel issues, we can help address these concerns before your naturalization interview and ensure that they do not impact your eligibility for citizenship.
  
  
• Attending the Naturalization Interview: We will help you prepare for and attend your naturalization interview with USCIS, ensuring that you understand the questions and are prepared to respond clearly and accurately.
  
  
• Post-Citizenship Assistance: Once you are granted citizenship, we can assist with applying for a U.S. passport and other post-citizenship benefits, ensuring that you are fully informed about your rights and responsibilities as a U.S. citizen.
