What We Handle in Citizenship Cases:

1. N-400 Applications:
   
   • Eligibility analysis under the five-year rule and the three-year rule for spouses of U.S. citizens.
   • Continuous residence and physical presence calculations, including absences over six months.
     
     
2. Good Moral Character Review:
   
   • Arrests and convictions, dismissed charges, tax issues, child support arrears, and selective service registration.
   • Strategic advice on whether to file now, wait out the statutory period, or address an underlying issue first.
     
     
3. Citizenship Through a Parent (N-600):
   
   • Derivative and acquired citizenship claims for clients who may already be U.S. citizens by operation of law.
   • Evidence of the parent’s citizenship, physical presence, and legal custody where required.
     
     
4. N-648 Medical Disability Waivers:
   
   • Waivers of the English and civics requirements for applicants with qualifying physical or mental impairments.
   • Coordination with treating physicians on the medical certification.
     
     
5. Interview and Test Preparation:
   
   • English, civics, and N-400 yes/no question preparation, tailored to the applicant’s comfort level.
     
     
6. Denaturalization Defense:
   
   • Responding to USCIS or DOJ investigations into naturalizations the government claims were improperly granted.
     
     
7. Posthumous citizenship in qualifying cases.

How We Approach a Citizenship Case:

• An honest read on whether filing now is a good idea — not every LPR should rush the application.
• Careful disclosure of past issues where required, with the legal analysis the adjudicator is looking for.
• Interview accompaniment for applicants who want representation in the room.
  
  

Naturalization is the case where preparation most directly translates into a smooth interview. Done right, it is the capstone of a long immigration journey.
