Naturalization

U.S. Legal Permanent Residents may elect to become U.S. Citizens and naturalize. This process allows eligible green card holders to apply for naturalization and undergo testing and an interview before swearing-in as a U.S. Citizen. We have assisted many people to reach their goal of U.S. Citizenship. Call or email with any questions you have. We are always happy to let you speak directly with an immigration lawyer.

Eligibility

  • Must be 18 years old;
  • Must be a resident continuously for 5 years (3 years if LPR status gained through marriage to a U.S. citizen and waived in some battery cases);
  • Must have resided for 90 days in the state where the petition was filed;
  • Must be physically present in the U.S.
  • Must not be absent from the U.S. for a continuous period of more than a year. An absence of more than six months creates a presumption of abandonment. (There are limited exceptions to this rule for military duty and certain relatives of U.S. citizens.);
  • Must be person of good moral character. (Certain criminal and other acts bar eligibility);
  • Must be attached to the principles of the U.S. Constitution;
  • Must be willing to bear arms or perform service on behalf of the U.S.;
  • Must not be barred as a member of the Communist Party, a deserter during war time, or otherwise under the law.
