Service Highlights

This is the very last step in the immigration process and often the most rewarding. After obtaining “LPR” or “green card” status you can file for citizenship assuming you meet all of the qualifications. Sometimes these applications are easy and other times they are more complicated. You usually have to learn English but there are exceptions to this rule. Applicants should pay their taxes if they are working, not leave the country for long periods of time, pay all family support obligations and otherwise be a person of “good moral character”. If you have any type of criminal history or any other questions about your eligibility please reach out for a free consultation. 

The benefits of becoming a citizen are many but maybe the two most important are:

  1. You can vote! We need more immigrant voices at the ballot to advocate for leaders who love and believe in immigrants as an essential and important part of this country and its history.
  2. You never have to worry about ICE again! The best defense to removal is to become a citizen…once you are a U.S. citizen it is nearly impossible to deport you. There are a few very rare exceptions to this but 99.9% of the clients I have dealt with can make themselves untouchable to ICE by naturalizing and become a U.S. citizen.

"When my dad got his green card renewal denied for a mistake from another law firm we contact Sweeney Law to help my dad become a U.S. citizen and [not] have to worry about his green card anymore. Sweeney Law made the process super easy. They were [...] organized about everything. Yvanna was amazing. She made the process so much easier and answer[ed] every question we had. My dad pass his citizenship test today and is officially a U.S. citizen. We couldn't be more happy about this accomplishment. We want to thank [The] Sweeney Law Team and Yvanna for the amazing experience."
