Citizenship

Becoming a United States citizen is a dream for many immigrants. Citizenship not only provides a sense of belonging, it also provides a number of legal rights and privileges that green card holders do not enjoy. For example, it is easier for a citizen to petition their family members to immigrate to the U.S., it is much more difficult for the government to take away citizenship compared to a green card, and it grants the right to vote.

The citizenship process is not quite as easy as many imagine. There are residency and good moral character requirements, as well as an English language and citizenship test. A consult with an attorney can help you to determine whether or not you are eligible to apply for citizenship and if your case might be complicated. At the Law Office of Kiran Mahal, we can help evaluate your case and make sure your dream of becoming a United States citizen becomes a reality.
