The right to vote. The right to obtain citizenship for children born abroad. The opportunity to live freely and without worry or fear of removal. All of these rights and more belong to American citizens. In more than 200 years as a country, the United States of America has always been a land of freedom, opportunity and hope for immigrants. Becoming a citizen of this country means committing yourself to fellow citizens and the common civic values we share.
In the U.S., we obtain citizenship by birth or through the process of naturalization. If you weren’t born in the U.S. or born abroad to U.S. citizens, you must complete the naturalization process to acquire citizenship. The citizenship and naturalization team at Dozier Miller are experts in helping immigrants navigate the complicated forms and applications involved. We have decades of experience helping people naturalize, and we will answer any questions you have about the naturalization process.
For many naturalization applicants, a common complaint with the process is the amount of time it takes. From filling out the complex application to waiting for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to test the applicant, there are many places where mistakes can cause delays.
Our citizenship and naturalization lawyers are well versed in the application form and know where issues are likely to arise. We’ll walk you through the form and help you avoid those mistakes that cause delay or even failure. We will also ensure your forms are correctly filed, lessening the chances of delays or denials. Our team will be beside you at every step.
If your application for naturalization is denied, we will advise you what to do next and how to continue your journey to citizenship.
There are many routes to acquiring a green card, from having a relative or U.S. employer petition on your behalf to filing for yourself as a refugee or asylum seeker. At Dozier Miller, we will take the time to learn your unique situation and advise you as to the best course of action for you.
