Citizenships
Definition:
Citizenship is an association and membership of a country and
the rights and privileges that come along with that association. An individual
can have U.S citizenship in two ways - through birth and
by a process known as naturalization. Many permanent residents formalize their
ties to the U.S by applying for citizenship in order to receive the benefits
of being a citizen. Applicants have to pass two tests in order to attain citizenship.
Consequences of Citizenship:
During the citizenship process, the government needs to know that applicants:
- Have been continuously and physically residing in the U.S
- Can read, write and speak English
- Have an understanding of the U.S government system, history and the principles outlined in the U.S constitution
- Have good morals and are proud to live in the U.S
The citizenship process can be a very lengthy process. U.S citizenship applications can get complicated. Sometimes, citizenship applicants are wrongfully denied naturalization, causing an applicant to appeal or reapply, delaying the naturalization process.
What a Lawyer can do for you:
A citizenship lawyer can represent and guide you during your naturalization process. A lawyer can help you get all the necessary documents prepared to show that you have had a physical presence in the U.S. A citizenship lawyer can also prepare you for the English language and U.S history tests. A lawyer can be a good resource to have in case your application has been denied.Lawyer Referral Service:
