– CITIZENSHIP AND NATURALIZATION –
To be considered a United States (US) citizen, an individual must have been born in the United States, born overseas to at least one US citizen parent, or achieved US citizenship through naturalization. If you were born overseas to a US citizen parent, there are certain criteria that must be met, and supporting documentation presented, to prove your claim and qualify you as a citizen.
If you are green card holder, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization. Unlike a green card, which potentially could be revoked if you are outside the country for a lengthy period of time or commit certain crimes, citizenship can be lost only under more extreme instances, and affords you certain privileges available only to US citizens. Therefore, naturalization involves an even more detailed and complicated application process than other immigration procedures, as well as more stringent qualifications.
As experienced immigration attorneys, Molavoque Law will conduct a thorough review of your individual circumstances, determine whether you meet the qualifications for citizenship and, if so, assist you in navigating the challenging and lengthy application process. If you have questions regarding your eligibility for citizenship and are considering applying for naturalization, contact Kristin A. Molavoque, Esquire to ensure you understand the requirements and are well-prepared throughout the entire application process.
