Becoming a citizen is not one decision made about you. It is a long sequence of them, each with its own requirements and its own way of going wrong, and a citizenship and naturalization attorney is there to make sure no single step quietly ends the process.
The legal hurdles deter even the strongest-willed applicants, and the road can wind on for years with no apparent end in sight. Attorney Lugo has over 20 years of experience helping immigrants become citizens. He will explain the necessary steps and keep you up to date on your progress.
Overview of Citizenship and Naturalization
Obtaining United States citizenship through naturalization requires immigrants to fulfill every requirement spelled out in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Immigration law as it applies to citizenship and naturalization can change suddenly, which is why working with an accomplished immigration attorney such as Alejo Lugo is important.
Here are the four primary scenarios in which it is possible to achieve citizenship through naturalization:
- You have lived in the United States for five years and meet other eligibility requirements
- You are a spouse who has lived in the United States for three years and met other eligibility requirements.
- You have served in the United States military and meet other eligibility requirements
- You were born outside the United States but your parents are United States citizens
