U.S. Citizenship is obtained either by birth or naturalization. Naturalization refers to gaining U.S. citizenship after birth either through U.S. citizen parents, known as “derived” or “acquired” citizenship or by applying for naturalization after meeting certain requirements. Generally, lawful permanent residents (LPRs or green card holders) age 18 or older who meet all eligibility requirements may file for naturalization.
Most naturalization applicants are required to take a test on English, and U.S. history and government.
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
The Kulen Law Firm provides assistance and advice regarding preparation and filing of citizenship applications. We determine whether an applicant meets all the eligibility requirements for his/her naturalization application. We analyze complex naturalization issues such as whether green card holders’ long absences out of U.S. would affect their claim to naturalization. We also attend naturalization interviews with our clients at USCIS offices.
