Naturalization is the process by which a non-U.S. citizen becomes a citizen of the United States, and this is a service we also offer at our Immigration Law Firm. If you are a permanent resident and are looking to become a U.S. citizen, we can help. Our lawyers can help you prepare for the naturalization exam and can provide guidance throughout the application process.

It is essential for intending citizens to understand the requirements and procedures involved in it. To become a naturalized citizen of the United States, you must meet some specific eligibility requirements, such as:
