Fairfax Citizenship Lawyer
How to Become a United States Citizen
Have you been a green card holder in the United States for at least five
years and have lived in the same state for the past three or more months?
You may be eligible to apply for citizenship through
naturalization. As a citizen of the United States, you will have certain rights that
were restricted when you were a lawful permanent resident.
Citizens can bring family members into the country, access more jobs, vote,
be protected by the government, receive additional student aid, participate
in federal juries, and much more. The benefits of being a citizen cannot
be overstated.
Types of Citizenship
An individual can become a U.S. citizen in multiple ways. The first is
through birth on United States soil, whether within the continental U.S.
or in a U.S. territory such as Puerto Rico. Citizenship can also be achieved
through parents who are U.S. citizens. If you are an immigrant, however,
you must pursue citizenship through naturalization. This process has residency
requirements as mentioned above and also requires you to take part in
an interview, an English test, and a civics test. Having a Fairfax immigration
lawyer by your side to guide you is invaluable to the success of your
of citizenship pursuit.
