Being a U.S. citizen is one of the doors that can be opened to you, from the right to vote to more employment opportunities. We at Najla Law Firm have the experience of guiding people through law to be U.S. citizens. The following steps are the most significant steps in law that you have to go through to successfully get through.
1. Determine Your Eligibility
Make sure that you meet the requirement of the U.S. citizenship application process. Ideally, you should:
Be at least 18 years old.
Be a permanent resident (Green Card holder) for 5 years (or 3 years if you are married to a U.S. citizen).
Demonstrate continuous residence and physical presence in the U.S.
Be of good moral character.
2. Complete and submit Form N-400
Application for Naturalization (Form N-400) is the basis of naturalization. It requires a full history of your past, where you stayed, and whom you worked with. We walk clients through the correct filling and submission of this form at Najla Law Firm to avoid delay or denial.
3. Attend the Biometrics Appointment
After filing Form N-400, you’ll receive a notice to attend a biometrics appointment. During this visit, your fingerprints, photo, and signature will be collected for background checks.
4. Complete the Citizenship Interview and Test
The next step is the citizenship interview, where a USCIS officer will review your application and test your knowledge of U.S. history, government, and English language skills. Our team at Najla Law Firm provides comprehensive preparation to ensure you’re confident and ready.
5. Receive a Decision and Attend the Oath Ceremony
Once you are approved, we will answer to an oath ceremony for you to become a U.S. citizen officially. That is the final step, and we will guide you through it so that it is a seamless experience.
