Naturalization & Citizenship

U.S. Citizenship Attorneys Helping You Attain Your Dream

For most people applying for citizenship in the U.S., there are several requirements that must be met to acquire citizenship:

• Lawful residency in the U.S. (a green card) for a predetermined period of time. (The requirements are complex and vary for different situations. Contact a U.S. citizenship attorney at the Law Office of Judith G. Cooper, P.C., for specific residency requirements for your U.S. citizenship application.)
• The ability to read, write and speak English (with some exceptions for persons over 50 years of age).
• A basic understanding of U.S. history and government.
• Good moral character
• At least 18 years of age (with exceptions for children of permanent residence who are seeking naturalization).
