Citizenship and Naturalization Support

Applying for Naturalization

Deciding to become a U.S. citizen is one of the most important decisions an immigrant can make. Depending on your situation, there may be different ways to obtain citizenship. 

• Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a lawful permanent resident after meeting the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)

• Acquisition of citizenship is obtained through U.S. citizenship parents either at birth or after birth, but before the age of 18.

Do you need an immigration lawyer for naturalization?

You may well be able to apply for naturalization on your own. Depending on the case, the process may be simple enough. The USCIS Form N-400 used to make the application can be filed by mail as well as online. USCIS also has a helpful online tool called the Naturalization Eligibility Tool.

However, consider talking to a citizenship attorney Las Vegas residents trust before filing anything to ensure your eligibility and resolve any doubts you may have about the process.

Do you have complications in your immigration history, such as issues involving Form I-751 and removal of conditions, or have you traveled outside the U.S. for more than 6 months in the past 5 years?
