The
process of applying for naturalization may seem to be
straightforward, and in most cases it is. However,
hiring an attorney to represent you may be a good idea for
several reasons. The legal fee may be less than you
would expect, and an attorney may determine whether you are
eligible, and avoid errors that could lead to delay, denial
or deportation.There is an
18% denial rate for naturalization applications.
There are many possible reasons for denial of
naturalization. Those who have a criminal record or
lengthy periods of stay outside the U.S. in particular
should seek the advice of an attorney before proceeding.
Also, if the USCIS determines that
you should not have received your green card in the first
place (because of fraud or another ground of
inadmissibility), it could try to take away your green card
and remove you from the United States.
The attorney will discuss your case
with you in an initial consultation. If you then
decide to hire us to represent you, we will prepare the
application and attend the naturalization interview with
you.
