Naturalization Attorneys In Los Angeles, California

What Do I Need To Do To Apply For U.S. Citizenship?

Once you have held a green card (lawful permanent resident status) for five years or more, you typically qualify to seek United States citizenship through the naturalization process. If you are married to a U.S. citizen, eligibility may come after only three years. Meeting various criteria is crucial, such as having resided continuously in the U.S. for five years – or three years if married to a U.S. citizen. Additionally, you must exhibit good moral character and possess basic skills in English language, U.S. history, and an understanding of the U.S. government's functioning. Upon successful completion, you will enjoy most rights akin to natural-born U.S. citizens. For full U.S. citizenship rights, our immigration attorneys are ready to assist. Should you meet the requirements, kickstart your naturalization journey today.

How Do I Start the Process?

During your initial consultation with our skilled naturalization attorneys, we will assess your qualifications to ensure eligibility for naturalization.

Should additional supporting documents be required, we will meticulously outline the prerequisites and guide you through the process. Furthermore, we will furnish you with practice questions to prepare you for your interview. Once all documentation is in order, we will aid in completing the N-400 form and submit it to the USCIS on your behalf. To embark on your journey towards U.S. citizenship, schedule a consultation with our immigration attorneys.

What Will Happen at My Interview?

To attend the interview, remember to bring your green card, state ID, or driver's license for identity verification. During the interview, a USCIS officer will carefully review the details provided in your N-400 form. They will verify the accuracy of the information and ask you to confirm its current validity. Should there be any changes, you must disclose them and provide supporting documentation if necessary. Subsequently, the officer will pose a series of questions akin to those in your green card interview. These will include reading and writing tasks in English, followed by a 10-question assessment on U.S. civics and history. A passing grade requires correctly answering at least six questions. Although it may seem daunting, adequate preparation can make the process relatively straightforward. Our legal experts are available to assist you in readiness for the interview, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
