Boston Citizenship and Naturalization Lawyer

Nomos Law Group guides green card holders through the naturalization process to become U.S. citizens.

A green card allows you to come into the United States to live and work. Lawful permanent residency means you can stay in the country indefinitely, granted you do not break any law.

If you plan to stay permanently in the U.S., it makes sense to become a citizen. That is the process of naturalization, where a foreign-born person becomes an American citizen.

Naturalization grants many benefits and advantages. It is the next logical step for green card holders.

Green card holders are eligible for naturalization if they meet the following requirements:

• The applicant has been a lawful permanent resident in the country for five years. Spouses of U.S. citizens only need three years.
• The applicant is at least 18 years of age.
• The applicant can read, write, and speak in English.
• The applicant has a good moral character. That means no criminal convictions or involvement in illegal activities.

The process also includes taking a test and swearing loyalty to the country by pledging the oath of allegiance.

The citizenship and naturalization process has three main stages.

The first stage involves preparing and filing Form N-400. That is the application for naturalization with the Immigration Service Center in your district. Submit the form and pay the required fees.

The next stage involves getting a date for fingerprinting. You will need to attend all interviews scheduled by the Immigration Services. If you miss them, your application can be denied.

The interviews during this stage will test your knowledge of US history, civics, and government. You may also be asked to take an English literacy test.

Once satisfied, the interviewing officer will give you a date for your swearing-in ceremony.

The third and last stage is about the swearing-in ceremony. There is a list of questions you need to submit on the date of the ceremony. You will then be sworn in, and you must turn in your green card. You will then be given your certificate of Citizenship, and, at that point, you are officially a U.S. citizen!

The biggest obstacle to your naturalization process would be yourself. If you have any of the following, it can cause problems with your application:

• Allegations of domestic violence
• A criminal conviction
• Restraining order
• Failing to pay child support
• Staying outside the country for long periods
• Any problem with your taxes
