Becoming a U.S. citizen is a significant milestone for many immigrants. The process, however, can be complex and daunting. At Fibi Law, we specialize in guiding you through the labyrinth of U.S. citizenship routes, ensuring a smoother transition from immigrant to citizen.
Understanding the different paths to U.S. citizenship is crucial. Here’s a breakdown:
Naturalization is the most common route. It’s for those who have been lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) for a specified period, usually 3 to 5 years.
If you’re married to a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible for citizenship through marriage. However, there are specific criteria like the duration of the marriage and the citizenship status of the U.S. spouse.
Children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents may automatically acquire citizenship at birth. The rules vary depending on various factors like marital status of the parents and the date of the child’s birth.
U.S. military service members and their immediate families may be eligible for expedited naturalization.
Each route has its own set of criteria:
Some individuals may be exempt from the English and civics tests due to physical or developmental disabilities or mental impairments. Special forms and medical certifications are required.
Our team of immigration experts will guide you through each step, from determining your eligibility to preparing you for the citizenship test and interview.
