Citizenship

Orlando Citizenship Lawyers

Helping You Start Your New Life in the U.S.

Citizenship in the United States is open to all people seeking freedom and the opportunity for a new life. The values, culture, and identity of the United States have been built from the contributions of people from around the world seeking to enrich their lives and the lives of their families.

There are many ways to obtain citizenship. Determining the best route for you depends on your situation. Regardless of how you decide to obtain citizenship, the process of becoming a citizen is referred to as naturalization.

You could be a candidate for citizenship if you meet one of the following criteria:

  • You have been a lawful permanent resident of the United States for at least five years.
  • You have been married to a U.S. citizen for at least three years.
  • You are currently serving in the U.S. military.

If none of the above apply to you, there is a chance you can still apply for citizenship. However, even if you do not meet any of these requirements, you can start taking steps now to reach the requirements. Our experienced immigration attorneys in Maitland can help.

We offer services in English, French, Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Call (407) 512-9919 to request a free in-person consultation.

Dual Citizenship

The United States recognizes dual citizenship. To be a dual citizen means you are a citizen of two countries at the same time. Dual citizens owe their allegiance to both the United States and a second home country and are required to obey the laws and policies of both countries.

However, while the U.S. allows its citizens the right to claim dual nationality, each country has its own nationality laws based on its own policies. Some nations place restrictions on citizens acquiring dual citizenship, and some nations do not allow dual citizenship at all. Contact your embassy to learn about the nation’s laws regarding dual citizenship and seek the guidance of an immigration attorney.
