Citizenship & Naturalization

Citizenship/Naturalization Attorney

While a green card grants an immigrant the right to live and work in the United States permanently, it doesn’t include all the rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship. A person who is eligible can apply for citizenship through a process known as naturalization. 

Citizenship is an important goal for many immigrants, but it isn’t easy. At Zaveri Law P.C., our New Jersey citizenship and naturalization attorney has the legal knowledge and professional experience you can trust. We help clients overcome the obstacles that may stand in their path. If you have any questions about applying for citizenship through naturalization, we can help. For a confidential initial consultation with a top-rated New Jersey immigration lawyer, please contact our Hackensack law office today.

What to Know About Applying for Citizenship through Naturalization

As described by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), naturalization is a process through which a foreign-born individual can apply to become an American citizen. U.S. citizenship offers a number of different benefits—from full protection against deportation to the ability to travel freely around the world. 

You cannot directly apply for American citizenship, even with a valid visa. Instead, you must first obtain a green card (lawful permanent residency). From there, an applicant for naturalization must meet the following requirements: 

• Hold a green card in good standing for a minimum of five years; 
• Demonstrate the ability to speak, read, and write in English;
• Learn basic information about the U.S. government and U.S. history;
• Commit to the core principles of the United States; and
• Demonstrate a positive moral character. 

It is not uncommon for people to run into some issues during the citizenship application process. It is a highly paperwork-intensive process. There are a lot of potential complicating factors that could cause a delay or even a denial. One of the core advantages of working with an experienced citizenship lawyer is that they will make sure you are in the strongest position to apply.
