Citizenship and Naturalization

Foreign citizens and nationals can become U.S. citizens via a number of ways. A common method is through a process called naturalization. To qualify, the applicant generally must possess good moral character and pass a written test in English (unless certain exceptions apply). Being a citizen means you can enjoy many important benefits, including the right to vote and more easily petition to reunite with your family.

However, U.S. immigration law prohibits certain individuals from becoming citizens, including those who have had run-ins with the law. People rarely live their entire lives without having made some regrettable decisions, and these decisions can often create difficulties for otherwise law abiding people to become bona fide citizens. Under such circumstances, it is important that you obtain competent legal advice so as to help you best navigate this potentially very complex process.
