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.

- 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.

The Rodriguez Law Office was the best choice for our family. Any questions we had were answered promptly and any help we needed was provided. I cannot express how thankful we are for Rebekah and Casey. They both went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of every step of the way. I would recommend the Rodriguez Law Office highly and would absolutely use them again in future- Katy

After being in the United States for over 5 years with no legal status, I had the fortune of meeting Ms. Rodriguez and she helped me to obtain legal permanent residence in only 7 months! I don't know if this is normal, but she was very kind to me throughout the process. Also, she never got tired of explaining things to me over and over again, and she has a way of calming her clients so that they don't stress too much about their immigration case. Overall, I must say that Ms. Rodriguez is very intelligent, very dedicated, and will do whatever she can to help all of her clients. She has a great heart, which is not very common for a lawyer, and she truly understands the adversity and the fear of many immigrants like me of having to go back to their home country. I would recommend Ms. Rodriguez without hesitation.- Jose
