Citizenship & Naturalization Services

Becoming a U.S. citizen is a significant milestone and a proud moment in anyone’s immigration journey. The process of obtaining citizenship, also known as naturalization, can be complex and requires careful preparation. At Luque Law Firm, we are dedicated to guiding you every step of the way, ensuring your application is accurate, complete, and submitted on time.

Understanding the Naturalization Process

Naturalization is the legal process through which a foreign national becomes a U.S. citizen. Below are the main steps involved:

Determine Eligibility To apply for naturalization, you must meet certain requirements, including:

Being at least 18 years old.
Holding lawful permanent resident (LPR) status (green card) for at least 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen).
Demonstrating continuous residence and physical presence in the U.S.
Showing good moral character.

Passing English and civics tests (with some exceptions).

There are different bases for applying for U.S. citizenship, depending on your circumstances. Here are some of the most common pathways:

Naturalization Based on 5 Years of Residency: You can apply for citizenship if you have been a lawful permanent resident for at least 5 years, continuously lived in the U.S. during that time, and meet all other eligibility criteria.
Naturalization After 3 Years Based on Marriage: If you obtained residency through marriage to a U.S. citizen and are still married to that spouse, you may qualify for citizenship after 3 years as a lawful permanent resident, provided you have lived with your spouse and meet additional requirements.
Derivative Citizenship: In certain cases, children may automatically gain U.S. citizenship through their parents, such as when a parent naturalizes or meets other specific conditions.
