Frequently Asked Questions
U.S. Citizenship is the legal status of being a full member of the United States, granting individuals the full rights, privileges, and responsibilities outlined in the U.S. Constitution. This includes the right to vote, work, reside permanently, and receive federal benefits. Citizenship can be acquired by birth within the U.S., through parents, or via naturalization after fulfilling specific residency and eligibility criteria. It represents a deep commitment to the nation and its values.
Naturalization is the legal process through which eligible foreign nationals voluntarily become U.S. citizens. To undergo naturalization, applicants must meet specific residency, good moral character, language requirements, and pass a U.S. government and history examination. Once successfully naturalized, individuals gain the full rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship, solidifying their bond to the nation and its principles.
Form N-400, titled “Application for Naturalization,” is the official document submitted by eligible foreign nationals seeking U.S. citizenship through the naturalization process. This form encompasses questions about the applicant’s background, residency, moral character, and understanding of U.S. civics. Successfully filing and processing Form N-400, followed by an interview and civics test, culminates in the granting of U.S. citizenship to the applicant.
Eligibility for naturalization hinges on several criteria: an individual must be at least 18 years old, possess a Green Card for a minimum of 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), demonstrate continuous residence and physical presence in the U.S., exhibit good moral character, have a basic understanding of English and U.S. civics, and express allegiance to the U.S. Constitution. Specific situations may have additional requirements or exceptions. Schedule a consultation with immigration attorney Victoria Kuzmina for guidance on your individual situation.
Yes, there are exceptions. For instance, certain military service members and their families may qualify for expedited or waived requirements. Additionally, applicants over 50 years old with 20 years of permanent residency, or those over 55 with 15 years of residency, may be exempt from the English language requirement but still need to take the civics test in their native language. It’s crucial to consult with immigration attorney Victoria Kuzmina, to understand specific exceptions that may apply to individual circumstances.
I got in touch with Victoria after I received a 7 page RFE for my O1A petition. My RFE deadline was only 6 weeks away and Victoria had to work on my entire case again from scratch. She met the required deadline and we submitted it in 6 weeks. I got an approval on the 7th working day. This visa was my only option to live in the US and she made it happen. Victoria works on the entire case by herself- its not passed on to paralegals, so it is her expertise that is used in the case. She is very professional, knowledgeable and a great communicator. She responded to all my queries promptly and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. Thank you for everything Victoria!!! I highly recommend her.
