US Naturalization Process

Orlando Naturalization Attorneys

Our Team Can Help You Become a U.S. Citizen

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. Citizenship is granted to a national or foreign citizen, once they have fulfilled the requirement established in the Immigration and Nationality Act. If you want to obtain permanent residence in the United States, then you will most likely need to undergo this process.

At Lim Law, P.A., we guide our clients through every step of naturalization so they can become full U.S. citizens. If you hire one of our Orlando naturalization lawyers, they will make sure you are prepared for all the deadlines, forms, and meetings required to complete this process.

Call (407) 512-9919 to schedule a consultation with an Orlando naturalization attorney.
An initial in-person consultations is free and over-the-phone meetings are paid.

Requirements for Naturalization

Unfortunately, naturalization is not as simple as filling out a single form. There are several things you will have to do to successfully complete the naturalization process. First and foremost, you will need to make sure you meet the requirements.

The requirements for naturalization are as follows:

Be 18 years old or older
Be a permanent resident (green card holder) for at least five years (three years if you are a spouse of a U.S. citizen)
Reside in the U.S for at least five years
Been present in the states for at least 30 months
Be a person of good moral character
Be willing to take the Oath of Allegiance
Be able to speak, write, read, and understand the English language
Possess knowledge and understanding of history and government of the U.S.

Call a Naturalization Lawyer in Orlando (407) 512-9919

If you are over the age of 50 and have lived as a permanent resident in the U.S. for 15 years or more, the requirements for the English and civics tests may be waived. Additionally, some exceptions to these requirements are applied to veterans of the United States Armed Forces.

Our naturalization lawyers in Maitland and Orlando provide services in English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Contact us today.
