Securing Your Immigration Success
Becoming a U.S. citizen is a milestone that offers countless benefits, from the ability to vote to greater job opportunities and protection from deportation. At Hirsch Law Group, we understand how meaningful this step is for you and your family.

The naturalization process can be daunting, but with the right legal guidance, you can navigate it confidently. Hirsch Law Group offers comprehensive legal services to help clients successfully achieve U.S. citizenship.
Naturalization is the process by which lawful permanent residents (green card holders) become U.S. citizens. Our attorneys will help you determine if you’re eligible for naturalization, assist in gathering the necessary documentation, and ensure that your application is completed accurately to avoid unnecessary delays or denials.
Requirements for Naturalization
Our team will guide you through each of these requirements, ensuring that you meet all qualifications and are fully prepared for the naturalization interview and citizenship test.
In some cases, individuals may automatically acquire U.S. citizenship through their parents without going through the naturalization process. If you believe you may qualify for derivative citizenship, we can evaluate your case, gather evidence, and help you obtain proof of citizenship.
Certain factors can complicate the naturalization process, such as past criminal charges, tax issues, or long absences from the U.S. We have extensive experience addressing these challenges and can help resolve them so you can move forward with your application.
Military service members and veterans often have a streamlined path to U.S. citizenship. Our attorneys are familiar with the unique benefits and requirements for military naturalization and are honored to assist those who have served our country.
