American citizenship comes with a variety of different benefits. To obtain citizenship, foreign nationals are required to go through a complex process that is known as naturalization. At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, our highly skilled Wheeling naturalization attorneys are proud to have helped many people become U.S. citizens through naturalization. If you need assistance with your naturalization application, please contact a member of our law firm today.
The Timeline for Naturalization
You cannot apply to become a naturalized United States until you have been a green card holder for at least five years. When enough time has passed to give you eligibility to apply for citizenship, the timeline for naturalization will be entirely dependent on the specific circumstances of your case. Though, you should expect it to take at least several months.
Eligibility Requirements
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) oversees the naturalization process. To be eligible to apply for American citizenship, you must meet several different requirements. Specifically, important eligibility requirements include the following:
- Currently live within the United States;
- Be a green card holder for at least the last five years;
- Possess basic English language skills, including reading and writing;
- Possess a basic knowledge of civics and history; and
- Demonstrate an acceptable moral character.
Process for Naturalization
Once you meet all of the requirements to enter the naturalization process, there are still many hurdles that you will need to overcome. Indeed, the process itself can be quite challenging even for qualified applicants. As an applicant, particularly if you are an applicant who has some type of adverse or complicated information in your history, you need to be ready to deal with any challenge that you might face. An experienced Wheeling naturalization lawyer can help. Our legal team can help you through any aspect of the naturalization process, including:
- Completing your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization;
- Helping you with the criminal background check; and
- Representing you during your official interview with an American immigration officer.
No matter what your specific issue is, you should not hesitate to get a professional legal advocate by your side. The earlier you take action, the better off you will be.
