When should I hire a citizenship lawyer?
While it’s possible to complete the citizenship process without one, hiring a citizenship lawyer is advisable in these situations, among others:
- You have a criminal record or immigration violations.
- You are unsure of your eligibility or have complicated circumstances.
- You want professional assistance with your application to ensure it is filled out correctly.
How can a citizenship lawyer help me?
We can assist with a variety of tasks, including:
- Assessing your eligibility based on your background and immigration history.
- Gathering the necessary documents, including proof of residency and good moral character.
- Preparing for the citizenship interview, including practicing potential questions and ensuring you fully understand the process.
- Representing you at the interview and assisting with any issues that may arise.
Can a citizenship lawyer guarantee my citizenship?
No reputable citizenship lawyer will offer a guarantee of citizenship because the decision ultimately lies with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
