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.

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.

After several years of "hiding" in the United States in fear of being caught and deported, I found Ms. Rodriguez, and she helped me find a way that I could stay in the United States and get my green card! She walked me through every step of the process, in my native language (spanish) and was very clear. She always took extra time to explain things in a way that I can understand, and she went with me to my interview, and was there for emotional and legal support during the entire process. I was quite happy with the process, she is reasonably priced, and even though the interview was terrible and the adjudicator accused me of many horrible things, Ms. Rodriguez defended me and I got my green card approval within the week! I got my green card within 2 weeks after that!- Brenda

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.

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.
