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

Choosing Rodriguez Law Office was the best decision my husband and I have made regarding his residency. She answered any and every question we had. Was also so honest and helpful during the process. We will definitely go back to her in the future and appreciate everything she was able to do for our family. Would recommend Rebekah to anyone in need of a immigration lawyer.

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.
