Our law firm is experiencing an unprecedented trend! We have been representing clients in U.S. Immigration matters for over 25 years. Recently, we have noticed an unprecedented trend in 2024. Our clients who are eligible for Naturalization/ Citizenship in the United States are getting approved in less than 3 months.
To be eligible for Naturalization to a U.S. Citizen, you must demonstrate the following:
1. You have not abandoned your Permanent Resident Status by being out of the country for more than 6 months at a time in any one year without a Re-entry permit (I-131); and
2. You have resided and worked in the United States as a U.S. Permanent Resident for 65-70% of the time in a 5-year period prior to applying for U.S. Citizenship, (unless you have an approved N-470); and
3. One of the requirements for naturalization is good moral character (GMC). An applicant for naturalization must show that he or she has been, and continues to be, a person of good moral character. In general, the applicant must show GMC during the five-year period immediately preceding his or her application for naturalization and up to the time of the Oath of Allegiance. Conduct prior to the five-year period may also impact whether the applicant meets the requirement
We also frequently get asked about holding dual citizenship. However, that is country specific; and it really depends.
When applying for Citizenship & Naturalization to a citizen, U.S. Citizenship (USCIS) will review your entire immigration history, so it’s important to consult with U.S. immigration counsel before applying, especially if your permanent resident Green card status was granted based on employment or investments into the United States.
While it’s a great time to apply for U.S. Citizenship, it’s very important to check off the boxes mentioned here to ensure one’s eligibility; and seek out an experienced immigration lawyer to answer complex questions to the USCIS officers in the representation of your N-400 during the interview and application process.
