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. We have experience handling a range of immigration issues and can help you navigate your unique situation.
To prove eligibility for naturalization, you must:
- Be a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. for 6 years or 3 years if married to a citizen
- 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
At Rodriguez Law Office, we can help you achieve your goals and determine eligibility for citizenship. We can guide our clients through all aspects of planning for future naturalization, fulfilling necessary requirements to become eligible, and completing each step of the process.
Many complexities can arise during the process, and we can help you overcome each one. Do not hesitate to call a Houston citizenship lawyer at the Rodriguez Law Office for the quality legal guidance you need from our firm. You can benefit from the outstanding services we offer!
