Albuquerque Citizenship Lawyers
There are only two general ways in which a person can obtain citizenship of the United States. The first is by birth (either within U.S. territory or to U.S. citizens). The second, which is the method that many people across the globe are interested in, is via naturalization. Applying for citizenship is a process that can be very lengthy, confusing and intimidating. Our experienced and dedicated Albuquerque citizenship attorneys can help you through the process to become a United States citizen.
In order to become a United States citizen, generally you must meet several requirements, including:
- You must be 18 years or older (in most cases)
- You must be a legal permanent resident of the United States for at least 5 years before applying for US citizenship with no absences longer than a year (there are some exceptions)
- You must be a person of good moral character
- You must be able to read, write, speak and understand basic, ordinary English (there are some exceptions)
- Pass a test on US history and civics
- Take an oath of allegiance to the United States
