Obtaining Citizenship & Naturalization in San Jose

Call (408) 384-4448 for Our Highly Rated Firm

There are a number of ways United States citizenship can be granted. Of course, if you were born in the U.S. or born to parents who are citizens, you are automatically a citizen. Fortunately, an immigrant to the U.S. can be granted citizenship through the naturalization process. This procedure is complex and it is very important to consult with an immigration lawyer as soon as possible.

The general requirements for naturalization include:

• You must have been a permanent resident for at least 5 years.
• You must be at least 18 years old.
• You must pass a test of your ability to read, write, and speak English.
• You must pass an exam in basic U.S. history and government.
• You must be willing to take the oath of allegiance.
