Joliet, Illinois Immigration Lawyers Handling Issues of Citizenship and Naturalization
Naturalization is the process by which immigrants are able to obtain U.S. Citizenship. When granted, citizenship offers a wide variety of benefits, including the right to vote, the right to apply for certain jobs, freedom to travel with a U.S. passport and, potentially even the ability to bring other members of your family into the United States.
However, obtaining U.S. citizenship can be extremely challenging. At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, our experienced Joliet citizenship attorneys have the skills and legal knowledge to handle any citizenship and naturalization case. If you or a family member is applying for citizenship in Illinois, please do not delay in reaching out to our law firm today for legal assistance.
Meeting the Requirements to Apply for American Citizenship
There are two ways to become an American citizen: you must either be born of a parent who is U.S. citizen, or you must go through the naturalization process. To be eligible to go through naturalization, there are many different requirements that you must meet, including:
- Minimum residency requirements;
- English language requirements;
- Knowledge of U.S. history and civics;
- Belief in the American Constitution; and
- Demonstration of good moral character;
Understanding the Complex Naturalization Process
There are many different steps involved in the naturalization process. To get through the process with your U.S. citizenship, it is imperative that you work with an attorney. To start, you will need to complete and submit Form N-400, which is the official application for naturalization. Any mistakes on this form could cause you major problems later on in the process. As the process continues, you will be required to:
- Give your fingerprints;
- Undergo a criminal background check;
- Attend a USCIS interview;
- Pass American civics and English language tests; and
- Take an Oath of Allegiance to the United States.
