What's the role of a citizenship and naturalization lawyer?

A citizenship and naturalization lawyer guides you through the process of becoming a U.S. citizen. They handle all the legal paperwork, help you prepare for the citizenship test, and represent you in interviews and court proceedings.

Can I apply for naturalization if I have a criminal record?

It depends on the nature and severity of the criminal record. Some convictions may impact your eligibility. Consulting an immigration attorney is essential to understand how your specific case might affect your naturalization application.

Can I apply for citizenship if I am a Green Card holder through marriage but I am no longer married to a U.S. citizen?

Yes, you can still apply for citizenship if you were married to a U.S. citizen and obtained your Green Card based on that marriage. Generally, you will have to wait until after five years of permanent residency, but in some circumstances, you may be eligible to apply after three years, even if you are no longer married to a U.S. citizen spouse.

Navigating the Path to Citizenship

Achieving U.S. citizenship is a life-changing goal, and the journey can be challenging without the right guidance.

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a lawful permanent resident after meeting the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

To apply for naturalization, you must have been a permanent resident (Green Card holder) for at least three years if married to a U.S. citizen or for at least five years through regular permanent residency.

Acquisition of citizenship, on the other hand, is obtained through U.S. citizen parents either at birth or after birth but before the age of 18. If you were born abroad to U.S. citizen parents, you may be eligible to acquire U.S. citizenship through the Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) process.

The journey to achieving U.S. citizenship can be daunting, but with the right help, it doesn’t have to be. An experienced citizenship and naturalization lawyer from the Law Office of Lina Baroudi is your key ally in this process.

You’ll find that having our professionals on your side can make all the difference when you’re dealing with intricate paperwork, strict deadlines, and ever-changing regulations surrounding citizenship application processes.

With our support, you can focus more on preparing for your new life as a U.S. citizen while they take care of these administrative hurdles for you.
