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

Without a doubt having Rebekah representing me during my immigration process has been a huge blessing. The level of professionalism, efficiency, and knowledge in the matter exceeded all my expectations. Not only was she able to accommodate me for a consultation on the same day, but worked extremely fast to submit my request to USCIS. From that point on, the communication, the explanation of fees and expenses, and the submission of responses to USCIS were all on point. Not only has Rebekah been able to help me, but also has helped several friends and family members that I have referred her to. I am very thankful with Rebekah and her team, as despite the high complexity of my situation, she was able to transform the nightmare I was living into a very blessing experience.- J. B.

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.
