Obtaining American Citizenship through Naturalization

​

The Woodlands Immigration Attorney assists permanent residents become U.S. Citizens through naturalization. A permanent resident qualifies for citizenship through naturalization after being a permanent resident for 5 years. However, if a permanent resident has also been married to U.S. Citizen for the last 3 years and has been residing (and is still residing with the USC spouse) for the last 3 years, he/she may apply to become an american citizen after 3 years as long as he/she can prove co-habitation with the USC spouse for the last 3 years. The number one issue with naturalization cases is meeting the physical presence and the continuous residence requirement. For that reason, it is very important to keep track of all trips taken outside of USA within the statutory period.
