Immigrating to the United States can be a confusing and stressful process. Its laws seem to be constantly changing, and it may often seem like the system is designed to keep people out, rather than welcome them in.

We’re prepared to walk you through every step of the immigration process. Whether you’re applying for citizenship or petitioning for a family member, you could benefit from the advice of an immigration attorney.

IMMIGRATION CAN BE COMPLICATED

Citizenship vs. Naturalization

Both certifications prove someone is a United States citizen, but they are not the same document. A U.S. citizenship certificate is awarded to someone who acquires citizenship from his or her U.S. parents, while a naturalization certificate is earned by someone who has completed the U.S. naturalization process.

Benefits of U.S. Citizenship

Citizenship is one of the most common factors of immigration cases, and for good reason. U.S. citizens are entitled to a much larger variety of rights than their non-citizen counterparts. As a legal citizen of the United States,

  • You can vote in federal and state elections.
  • You can bring your family members to the U.S.
  • You can obtain citizenship for your children born abroad.
  • You and your children cannot be deported to your former country.
  • You can apply for a U.S. passport.
  • You can travel with a U.S. passport, which provides you with U.S. government assistance while overseas.
  • You can become eligible for federal jobs.
  • You can participate in a jury.
  • You can run for public office.

Get in touch with us today to learn more about the many privileges U.S. citizenship can provide.

Who is Eligible for Naturalization?

As a foreign national or immigrant applying for naturalization, you are required to meet a variety of qualifications. You must:

  • Be 18 years of age or older at the time of filing your application.
  • Be physically present or reside continuously in the United States.
  • Have been a legal permanent resident for the past three or five years.
  • Be able to read, write, and speak basic English.
  • Have adequate knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government.
  • Be loyal to the principles of the U.S. Constitution.
  • Be willing to take the Oath of Allegiance.
  • Be of good moral behavior.

If you’re wondering whether you qualify for naturalization, or have questions about its process, contact our team of immigration attorneys. We’ll schedule you a consultation so you can start getting the answers you need.
