Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization?
You may be eligible if you are at least 18 years old, have been a permanent resident for 5 continuous years (3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), demonstrate good moral character, pass English and civics exams, and meet all other requirements. Our attorneys can help determine your eligibility.
What forms and documents do I need to apply for naturalization?
The main form is the N-400 Application for Naturalization. You will also need your green card, proof of residence and employment, tax records, and documents regarding any arrests or criminal issues. Fingerprints and photographs are taken at your biometrics appointment. Our lawyers will ensure you submit a complete application.
How long does the citizenship application process take?
The process typically takes 6-12 months from filing your N-400 to attending your citizenship oath ceremony. The length varies based on application volumes. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) must run background checks and schedule your interview and test. Our attorneys will pursue an optimal timeline.
What happens if my citizenship application is denied?
If USCIS denies your application, we can file an appeal or submit a new application addressing the reasons for denial. With an experienced attorney, you have strong recourse to challenge a wrongful denial. We have high success appealing improper rejections.
When do I become an official U.S. citizen?
You become a citizen on the same day you take the oath of allegiance at your naturalization ceremony. This meaningful event usually occurs within 45-90 days after USCIS approves your application. You will receive your certificate of naturalization.
What rights and benefits do new U.S. citizens receive?
Key benefits include the right to vote and hold public office, obtain certain government jobs, expedite immigration for relatives, travel freely with a U.S. passport, and other legal protections. Our lawyers can explain all the valuable rights and opportunities available.
