Citizenship & Naturalization
We provide comprehensive legal guidance for permanent residents ready to embrace the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship.
-
Generally, you must have been a Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card holder) for at least 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen).
-
You must demonstrate that you have been physically present in the U.S. for at least half of the required statutory period.
-
A review of your background to ensure compliance with U.S. laws and established "moral character" standards.
From Residency to Citizenship: Your Final Step
The Naturalization Process Roadmap
Phase 1: The N-400 Application
We meticulously prepare your application, ensuring all travel history, employment, and personal data are accurate to avoid delays or denials.
Phase 2: The Interview & Examination
The most critical stage. We prepare you for the English and Civics exams and, in many cases, accompany you to the USCIS interview to provide on-site legal support.
Phase 3: The Oath of Allegiance
The final step. Once approved, you will attend a ceremony to take the Oath and receive your Certificate of Naturalization.
