Citizenship

Schaumburg Citizenship Attorneys Serving Northern Illinois

Serving Palatine, Crystal Lake, Elgin, Bartlett, Waukegan, and Elk Grove

The decision to become a United States citizen through naturalization is an important final step in the immigration process. Unlike being a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) with legal rights to live and work for an extended period of time on an employment-based or family-based immigrant visa, U.S. citizenship would allow you to sponsor other family members and have the right to vote.

At the Law Offices of Angela L. Kwan, our immigration attorneys are committed to providing personalized representation to individuals, families, and small business owners, with step-by-step legal guidance, towards gaining United States Citizenship. We recognize the difficulties that may be involved with understanding the complex immigration laws, and to that effect, we thoroughly prepare our clients for the interview process so that they can achieve their citizenship goals.

Contact the Law Offices of Angela L. Kwan in Schaumburg, Illinois to schedule an initial consultation and to discuss your plans for gaining citizenship. Call 847-805-9410 today.

Our Illinois Immigration Attorneys Offer Comprehensive Legal Guidance

In order to become a U.S. citizen, you must meet certain requirements, as follows:

• You must be 18 years of age when filing the U.S. Citizenship Application, Form N-400.
• You must be a permanent resident and have a valid green card for a period of five years, or three years if you obtained your green card through your marriage to a U.S. citizen.
• You must be able to speak, read, and write fluently in English, unless you are disabled.
• You must understand U.S. history and have general knowledge of governmental laws.
• You must be of "good moral character," meaning, before you apply for citizenship, you need to make sure that your past indiscretions (any criminal or personal issues) will not threaten your permanent residency.

At the Law Offices of Angela L. Kwan, we can help you with filing the correct documentation and review your eligibility issues for citizenship proactively so that you can fulfill your American dreams.
