Naturalization and Citizenship

U.S. citizenship is obtained by birth or through the process of naturalization. The process is complex, must be done in compliance with the requirements of the law, and includes physical presence in the U.S., residency in the U.S. for a number of years, good moral character, knowledge of U.S. history and government, and the ability to speak, read, and write English. Other aspects to take into consideration include if you are a Lawful Permanent Resident serving in the U.S. Military, if you were a foreign-born child of U.S. citizen parents, or if you have a criminal record.

The attorneys of Protogyrou Law, P.L.C. will guide you through the application process, prepare you for your interview with an immigration officer, and even provide you with resources to help you pass the citizenship exam.
