Houston Citizenship Lawyer

Naturalization Attorney Ready to Advocate for You

The Law Office of Mana Yegani can help you achieve your goals. The path to citizenship (naturalization) is difficult even in the most straightforward of cases. Security threats, both foreign and domestic, have tightened restrictions and forced the U.S. government to put many more challenges in place for anyone seeking U.S. citizenship. Becoming a citizen protects you in so many ways.

Retaining an experienced Houston citizenship attorney provides you with countless valuable benefits and protections through the process. Ms. Yegani has helped many of her clients become naturalized citizens, even those with criminal records (big and small). She will be present with you in the citizenship interview.

The Naturalization Process in Texas

Your U.S. naturalization/citizenship application (N-400) will go through the Department of Homeland Security. There are still risks involved in this process. You will not be granted full constitutional rights unless you are a naturalized citizen.

The consequences of a misstep during the interview with a Homeland Security officer or an error on your N-400 application could be worse than denial of your application. You could be placed in removal proceedings if you do not have a lawyer to guide and represent you in the process. Falsely filling out an N-400 application is a federal crime. Get help from an experienced lawyer.

Why Retain Counsel?

The benefits of working with a lawyer throughout the naturalization process include:

• Ensuring that your rights and freedoms are protected
• Dedicated and responsive legal guidance
• Advice and counsel for submitting your application
• Advice and counsel in preparation for the naturalization test (a test of your knowledge of the English language, the U.S. government and U.S. history)
• Representation during the naturalization interview
• Protecting you from denial when you have a criminal record/history

Eligibility for Citizenship

Immigration is serious business, and the U.S. government is very strict. Ms. Yegani respects the process and helps her clients progress in their desire to attain citizenship as efficiently and effectively as possible.

You may be eligible to obtain citizenship if:

• You were born in a territory or outlying possession of the U.S.
• One parent or both parents were U.S. citizens at the time of your birth
• You are a member of the U.S. armed forces or a veteran who was honorably discharged (some restrictions and further exceptions apply)
• Your spouse or parent is a member of the U.S. armed forces
• You have been a lawful permanent resident (held a green card) for at least five years (three years if married to a U.S. citizen)
• Other exceptions may apply
