An Esquire Legal Group immigration attorney in Orlando, Florida may be able to help you.

Many people dream of becoming a United States Citizen. This process is sometimes referred to as “naturalization”. An Orlando immigration attorney can assist you in your application for naturalization and citizenship. In order to become a naturalized United States citizen, you must have been a lawful permanent resident for a particular amount of time. If residency was obtained through marriage to a United States Citizen, in most circumstances you can apply for citizenship if you are still married three years later. If you got your residency based on some other sort of familial relationship or through employment, you can apply for citizenship five years from the date of residency. There are some very important benefits to citizenship. For example, you will not be subject to deportation should you commit a crime as you would be if you are a resident; you can vote in local, state and federal elections; you can apply for your family members abroad; and you can obtain a United States passport and travel for longer periods of time versus being a lawful permanent resident where travel is restricted.

Finally, you may be able to receive Supplemental Security Income for a longer period of time than if you are a lawful permanent resident. Unfortunately, some of our immigration clients delayed obtaining their citizenship and now face deportation because they committed certain types of crimes. Many times, these crimes would have resulted in little to no jail time if the client was a citizen instead of a permanent resident alien. Take advantage of the benefits of being a United States citizen. To start your naturalization today, contact the Orlando Immigration Lawyer department of Esquire Legal Group.
