Citizenship and Naturalization
Citizenship is the relationship between an individual and a nation, granting the person specific rights, privileges, and duties. Naturalization is the legal procedure by which a foreign national can become a U.S. citizen. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), there are rigorous criteria that applicants must meet to be considered eligible for this transformative legal status. Our Albany, NY immigration attorney at The Towne Law Firm, P.C. offers help to those who qualify and ensure compliance throughout the process.
Eligibility and Application Process
Before jumping into the application process, we conduct a meticulous evaluation of your individual circumstances. Our extensive experience and understanding of immigration law allow us to assess whether you meet the eligibility criteria for naturalization or a certificate of citizenship. This crucial first step minimizes the risk of wasted time and resources, ensuring that you embark on the path that’s right for you.
Once eligibility is confirmed, we assist you in gathering all the necessary documentation, including legal and biographical details, to strengthen your application.
Naturalization applicants are generally required to take an English language and civics test. Our immigration law firm will provide you with the resources and counsel to adequately prepare for these tests. We also offer comprehensive coaching for the naturalization interview to ensure that you are well-equipped to answer any questions the immigration officer may pose.
It’s not uncommon for applicants to encounter legal roadblocks along the way. With our extensive knowledge of federal and state immigration laws, rules, and codes, we can adeptly navigate these challenges, be they issues related to your immigration history, criminal background, or other complex circumstances.
