Citizenship in the United States
Citizens of the United States can live and work in the U.S. permanently and will be protected from losing their status if they pursue extensive traveling abroad. Other benefits of obtaining citizenship include the ability to vote in U.S. elections and petitioning for permanent residency for relatives. Contact our firm for representation through the process.
Citizenship can be achieved in one of the following ways:
- Birth
- Derivation
- Naturalization
Assistance from a Houston Citizenship Attorney
Citizenship can be pursued after you have a green card and have received lawful permanent resident status in the country. Our firm's immigration lawyers in Houston can help you apply for naturalization as a lawful permanent resident.

- Be physically present in the U.S. for more than 50% of the required residency period
- Be a person of good moral character
- Take an oath of loyalty to the U.S.
- Be able to speak, read, and write simple phrases in the English language
- Pass a test in U.S. history and government

Would highly recommend Rebekah and the Rodriguez Law Office to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer, and have already recommended her to several friends! She took time with our family and made sure we knew all of our options moving forward and explained everything clearly and simply. We felt cared for when working with her and could feel it was more than just a business transaction because of how deeply she cared and how happy she was when she congratulated us at the arrival of our residency. 10/10 recommend.

I went to a few lawyers for consultations, but Rebekah was the only one that put me on ease. I trusted her from the start and I am glad I did! The whole process went promptly and smoothly. The price was more than fair for the service provided. She was recommended to me by a family member and I will 100% recommend her as well!- M. A.

Would recommend Rodriguez Law Office to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable lawyer. Rebekah was able to provide advice and guidance to my family regarding a complex immigration case involving my disabled relative. We'd already tried before with a different lawyer. Unfortunately, we had very negative results and were about to give up. Rebekah not only provided advice (in English and Spanish), she also explained the process in a helpful and detailed manner, and she also provided additional resources to help us meet the requirements needed for our case involving the disability aspect. The results were as desired, and we very grateful to have found Rodriguez Law Office.
