Pursuing the naturalization process can be complex and can take more than five years to complete. As your attorneys, we will:
Not everyone who wants to obtain U.S. citizenship needs to be naturalized. Some people are already legally U.S. citizens and simply need to obtain a U.S. passport and/or certificate of citizenship. Under the Child Citizenship Act, if you were born abroad, you have at least one U.S. citizen parent and you have your green card, you may be a U.S. citizen by operation of law and eligible for citizenship documents, or you may be able to acquire citizenship by presenting certain evidence to the authorities.
