Citizenship

At Global Law Attorneys, we help immigrants achieve the ultimate goal of their immigration journey: becoming a United States citizen. U.S. citizenship provides security, stability, and opportunity, granting rights and privileges that go beyond permanent residency. Our experienced attorneys guide clients through every step of the naturalization process, ensuring accuracy, preparation, and confidence.

What is U.S. Citizenship Through Naturalization?
Naturalization is the legal process by which a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) becomes a U.S. citizen. Once naturalized, you enjoy full rights and responsibilities under U.S. law.

Eligibility for Citizenship:
You may qualify if you:

• Have been a lawful permanent resident for at least 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen).

• Have continuously lived in the U.S. and maintained a physical presence.

• Are at least 18 years old.

• Can demonstrate good moral character.

• Can pass an English and civics test (with some exceptions for age or disability).

• Are willing to take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States.

Benefits of Citizenship:

• Right to vote in U.S. elections.

• Protection from deportation – once a citizen, you cannot be removed from the U.S.

• Ability to sponsor more family members for immigration.

• Eligibility for federal jobs and benefits.

• U.S. passport, allowing free travel abroad.

• A permanent sense of security and belonging.

The Naturalization Process:

1. File Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization).

2. Submit biometrics and undergo background checks.

3. Attend an interview with a USCIS officer.

4. Take the English and civics exam (unless exempt).

5. Receive approval and attend the Oath of Allegiance ceremony.

6. Become a U.S. citizen with full rights and responsibilities.
