Who Is Eligible to Become a Naturalized U.S. Citizen?

Current green card holders living in the U.S. are generally eligible for citizenship after 5 years. If you are also married to a U.S. citizen, you could be eligible after only 3 years. If you are married to a U.S. citizen who is being transferred abroad, you may be eligible to file sooner.

Once you have met these time requirements, your application will be examined to determine if there is any reason why you should not be allowed to become a citizen.

There are some circumstances, such as being convicted of a drug offense, that could keep you from becoming a citizen. However, there may be remedies that can often overcome those barriers.

Your attorney from Richard W. Pierce, P.C. will analyze your situation and advise you on any problems that may arise. We will also ensure that your application is filled out and submitted correctly and efficiently.
