Naturalization & Citizenship

Guiding Permanent Residents Through the Final Step Toward Becoming U.S. Citizens

Becoming a U.S. citizen is one of the most meaningful milestones in an immigrant’s life. It represents stability, belonging, and a future built with confidence. I understand the emotional significance of this step and the relief and pride it brings to families who have worked hard to reach this point. Whether you are preparing to file your N-400 or have questions about eligibility, I am here to guide you with clarity and compassion.

As a Florida-licensed immigration attorney and an immigrant myself, I bring both personal understanding and professional insight to every naturalization case. My experience working in government-funded compliance programs gives me a deeper perspective on how immigration systems operate and how to prepare clients for each phase of the process. I help permanent residents in Orlando and across the United States complete their path to citizenship with confidence and support.

What I Do: Helping You Prepare for Naturalization

Naturalization involves more than just filing the N-400. I help clients understand eligibility, gather required documents, and prepare for the interview and civics test.

My naturalization services include:

• Reviewing eligibility based on residency, marriage, or military service
• Preparing and filing the N-400 application
• Reviewing your immigration history for possible issues
• Addressing prior travel, taxes, or selective service concerns
• Preparing you for the interview and civics test
• Supporting clients with disability waivers, when applicable
  
  

I ensure your case is accurate, complete, and ready for the next step.

Eligibility Considerations

Naturalization requirements vary depending on your circumstances. I help you understand whether you qualify through the:

• Five-year permanent resident rule
• Three-year rule through marriage to a U.S. citizen
• Special provisions for certain applicants, including military members
  
  

I also assess potential concerns, such as extended trips outside the U.S., past immigration records, or documentation gaps.

Citizenship Interview Preparation

One of the most important steps in the naturalization process is the USCIS interview. I prepare clients by reviewing the civics and English portions of the exam, discussing what questions to expect, and helping you feel confident during your appointment.

A well-prepared case, and well-prepared applicant, can make a significant difference in achieving a successful outcome.

Why Legal Help Matters

Even straightforward cases can encounter delays or complications without proper preparation. Working with an experienced immigration attorney can help you:

• Address risks early
• Avoid mistakes on your N-400
• Understand how past issues may impact eligibility
• Prepare thoroughly for the interview
• Feel confident throughout the entire process
  
  

Citizenship is a life-changing step, and professional guidance ensures your application is as strong as possible.
