Naturalization is the process through which a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) becomes a U.S. citizen. Once naturalized, you gain all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, including:

– The right to vote in U.S. elections
– A U.S. passport for international travel
– Protection from deportation
– The ability to sponsor more family members for immigration
– Eligibility for government jobs and benefits

To apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization, you generally must:

– Be a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder)
– Have maintained continuous residence in the U.S. for at least 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen)
– Have been physically present in the U.S. for at least half of that time
– Demonstrate good moral character
– Pass English language and U.S. civics/history tests
– Swear allegiance to the United States

Certain applicants – such as those with disabilities, military service, or advanced age – may qualify for exemptions.

Naturalization may seem straightforward, but complications can arise. We help clients address:

– Prior arrests or criminal records
– Extended trips abroad or broken continuous residence
– Tax issues or back child support
– Errors on past immigration applications
– English or civics test exemptions (Form N-648)
– Denials or delays in processing
– Past immigration fraud or misrepresentation concerns

If you’re unsure whether a past issue may affect your eligibility, let us review your case confidentially before you file.
