How can an attorney help me with this process?
At our firm, we will work to ensure that all the guidelines have been met in order for you to be granted naturalization. We will pour over all the required documentation and search your background to make sure there are no restrictions. Our firm will examine any criminal convictions that may prevent you from being granted citizenship or put you at risk of removal proceedings. This is to ensure that you will not be barred from reaching your goal.
To become a naturalized citizen, you may have to pass certain tests. If you are 55 years of age or older or have lived in the U.S. for over 20 years, we will work to get a waiver for the citizenship test or language requirements that may be a part of the standard process. If your original visa was based on a marriage or job, we will ensure that it is not threatened due to a divorce or employment problems.
As professional attorneys, we know what signs to look for when you are applying to become a naturalized citizen. We can also check to consider the effects of any extended travel you did abroad during your residency in the United States. This is another factor that may influence naturalization. Our legal professionals can also look into resolving any tax problems prior to your application process. We can identify grounds for claiming derivative citizenship or acquired citizenship based on family circumstances.
