Immigration

Citizenship & Naturalization

Guiding permanent residents through the path to US citizenship.

Overview

What this involves

Becoming a US citizen is a milestone. For many permanent residents the process is straightforward, but past travel, criminal history, tax issues or questions about residence can complicate it.

We help clients assess eligibility, prepare naturalization applications, get ready for the interview and the English and civics tests, and address complications. We also advise on citizenship through parents and on certificates of citizenship. Immigration outcomes are decided by government agencies and courts, and no result can be guaranteed. We prepare every case thoroughly and tell you honestly how we see your prospects.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

When can I apply for citizenship?

Eligibility depends on factors such as how long you have been a permanent resident and whether you are married to a US citizen. We confirm your timeline.

Will a past arrest affect my application?

It may. Some issues can affect eligibility or even create risks, so get advice before you apply.

Can I keep my other citizenship?

US law generally permits dual citizenship, but your other country's law may not. Check both.
