Your Dream Comes True

U.S. CITIZENSHIP

Are you ready to achieve your American Dream and become a U.S. citizen?

U.S. citizenship is the last step in your immigration journey and the highest immigration level you can achieve. You can keep your U.S. citizenship for life and also keep your other citizenship as long as your other country of citizenship recognizes dual citizenship.

Do you want to stop worrying about renewing your green card?
Do you want to sponsor family members to come to the U.S.? Perhaps you would like to be able to vote in elections?
Maybe you want to travel to many different countries without visa requirements?

5 Things You Need to Know Before Applying for Naturalization

You have been a Lawful Permanent Resident for three, five, or more years and you are ready to file your application for naturalization. Should you do it? You should first consult with an experienced immigration attorney before filing for naturalization to make sure it is the right thing for you to do, especially if:

1. You have been arrested at any time, even if it was many years ago and you completed all the conditions of your sentence or probation.

2. You misrepresented yourself in any immigration application in the past or at any port of entry.

3. You were previously in removal proceedings or any proceedings before the immigration court.

4. You have lived outside of the United States for extended periods of times.

5. You are currently working, studying, or volunteering abroad, or have been living outside the United States because of your work or family

How our Immigration Lawyers Can Help You

Filing for naturalization may feel like a breeze after having gone through the immigration process of getting your permanent green card approved. However, you should always approach any immigration petition, including your naturalization application, with the same level of detail and thoroughness because you have not gone this far in order to get your case delayed or denied. Our immigration attorneys will discuss with you all the eligibility requirements and will guide you in proving to the agency that you meet all of them. We will also explain the process in detail and what to expect, as well as discuss any potential issues that might come up. Applicants who are ineligible for citizenship not only risk getting a denial on their applications, but they can risk their Lawful Permanent Resident Status and can be put in removal proceedings.

At Weinstock Immigration Lawyers, we have successfully represented clients before USCIS in diverse and complicated naturalization applications. If necessary, our immigration attorneys are skilled at zealously representing our clients in filing naturalization appeals to the Federal District Courts to overcome a prior USCIS denial. Maybe you are a U.S. citizen already because you derived it from your parents but you don’t know for sure or you don’t have any proof of it. For example, our attorneys were able to prove that clients without status or are about to be deported derived U.S. citizenship and obtain U.S. passports. Call us today to talk about what we can do to help you with your naturalization or citizenship application so you can finally start enjoying the privileges of being a United States Citizen.
