We navigate the complex rules on eligibility for applying for Citizenship or Naturalization for you.
Contact our office to start the sponsorship process as some categories require waiting times of many years.
Naturalization & Citizenship Process
Although this process may seem straightforward, filing an application will cause your entire immigration case to be reviewed and re-examined.
In addition, if you had problems with the law it may make you ineligible and may lead to losing your green cards and being removed from the USA. Most green card holders/permanent residents can apply for citizenship 3 or 5 years from the date they were approved as permanent residents. (after 3 years if you obtained permanent residency through a US Citizen spouse). This timeline may be extended if you spent longer periods of time overseas.
Areas of Law
Please know you can call us or schedule online appointments for any of your legal matters.
- EMPLOYMENT BASED IMMIGRATION
- PERMANENT RESIDENCY - GREEN CARDS
- TEMPORARY IMMIGRATION
All applicants have to pass an oral US Civics/history civics exam, writing short sentences and reading short sentences to show that they can communicate in English.
We assist clients in preparing for the exam and reviewing the questions they will be asked from the application. We provide our clients with a summary of all of the questions and practical information on the test and procedures.
