Naturalization Lawyers in Sacramento
Becoming a U.S. citizen can be life-changing. The right to vote, the right to sponsor family members who want to come to the United States, and the right to travel wherever and whenever you want are just a few of the benefits you will enjoy as a U.S. citizen. However, there are serious factors you must consider when applying for naturalization. It is best to consult with an experienced immigration attorney before you begin the process to avoid delays or denial.

Should You File for Naturalization?
Our attorneys can help you evaluate your situation and determine whether it is in your best interest to apply for naturalization. Certain criminal offenses and other past issues with the law can result in deportation simply upon filing an application for naturalization, so it's important to consult with an immigration lawyer prior to filing.
Becoming a U.S. Citizen
If we determine that filing for naturalization is a good decision for you, our law firm can prepare and file your application, help you prepare for the citizenship English and history tests and attend your interview at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) with you.
Becoming a U.S. citizen is an exciting event. At the Law Office of Bunmi Awoniyi, we want to be by your side during this process to help make it as smooth as possible.
There are two paths to U.S. citizenship — by birth or by naturalization. A child becomes a citizen by birth when all of the following requirements are met:
- One parent is U.S. citizen
- The child under the age of 18
- The child is unmarried
- The child is a legal permanent resident
- The child must be residing in U.S. in legally and in physical custody of a U.S. citizen parent
To gain citizenship through naturalization, a person must have legal permanent residence for five years, or three years if married to U.S. citizen.
