Becoming a U.S. Citizen

“Citizens by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of AMERICAN, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.”

George Washington – farewell address to the people of the United States, September 19, 1796.

Becoming a United States citizen is an important decision. Our firm is committed to help you in every step of the process.

A foreign born person can become a U.S. citizen by naturalization, acquisition or derivation. Naturalization is the process by which a legal permanent resident becomes a US Citizen after filing the proper forms and passing the citizenship test.

Derivative or Acquisition of citizenship is a mechanism by which certain children born outside of the United States become a U.S. citizen or acquire citizenship by virtue of being born to parents who are U.S. citizens provided that certain conditions are met.

As most of the immigration processes this is a complex area of the immigration law. The applicant must meet all the requirements in order to establish eligibility.

An applicant must first qualify to apply for citizenship. We can help you find out if you meet the requirements for citizenship and throughout the process.
