Can Immigration Lawyers Help You Become a United States Citizen?
Absolutely, an experienced immigration attorney can guide you through the citizenship process if you meet the legal requirements under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Most individuals qualify for naturalization by being a permanent resident for at least five years, being married to a U.S. citizen, or serving in the U.S. military. Each pathway has its own documentation and eligibility standards, and it’s important to remain in good standing throughout the process.
If you meet these criteria, an immigration lawyer can help you file the correct forms, prepare supporting evidence, and ensure compliance with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) guidelines. You’ll also need to meet additional conditions such as English language proficiency, knowledge of U.S. civics, and proof of good moral character. Many clients don’t realize how small errors in the naturalization process can lead to long delays or denials. That’s why it’s crucial to work with attorneys who understand both the law and your goals.
To explore your citizenship options, speak with a legal representative at our law firm today and find out if naturalization is right for you.

Do You Need a Visa to Enter the United States?
Most foreign nationals need a visa to enter the U.S. The one you apply for depends on your immigration needs. For short stays such as tourism, study, or medical care, a nonimmigrant visa allows temporary entry under U.S. immigration law. These visas require strict compliance with USCIS guidelines and nationality law, often with support from licensed immigration consultants.
If your plan is to live and work permanently in the U.S., an immigrant visa is required. These are typically tied to family immigration or employment. A family-based visa allows a spouse, child, or other family member to sponsor you. Once approved, it may lead to permanent residency and a green card.
At The Chidolue Law Firm, our practice areas include all major visa categories. We assign an experienced immigration lawyer to focus on your case, offering strategic legal advice, help gathering evidence, and tracking approval timelines. With a strong success rate and deep understanding of the circumstances that shape each case, our attorneys help you navigate the costs, forms, and deadlines with clarity and care.

How Can an Immigration Attorney Protect You?
Immigrating under dangerous or uncertain conditions can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure of your legal rights or safety. Our immigration attorneys are experienced in helping immigrants who face threats, violence, or removal. We provide discreet, compassionate legal representation and help you explore protective immigration options under U.S. immigration law and USCIS procedures.
- Applying for a T visa as a survivor of human trafficking
- Filing a U visa for victims of physical or emotional harm
- Petitioning under VAWA as an abused spouse or family member
- Building deportation defense strategies tailored to your case
- Ensuring full confidentiality in every conversation
- Helping you stay informed about your immigration status and rights
- Gathering the required evidence to support urgent petitions
Q: Who qualifies for VAWA?
A: The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was created to protect immigrant women from domestic violence while living in the U.S. However, men and children can also apply for this program if they’ve been abused by a spouse, parent, or adult child who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. When you’re approved for VAWA, you have the chance to stay in the U.S. and self-petition for a green card instead of relying on an abusive family member. If you want to get away from your abuser without losing the chance to live and work in the U.S., talk to an immigration lawyer about VAWA.
Q: What is a marriage visa?
A: If you married someone who is not a U.S. citizen, you can apply to bring them to the U.S. via a marriage visa. The one you use depends on your immigration status. If you’re a citizen, your spouse is likely eligible for the CR-1 if you’ve been married for less than two years, or the IR-1 if you’ve been married for over two years. This visa usually takes about one year to process. If you’re a permanent resident, you can apply for the F-2A marriage visa, which takes two years or more to process for most people.
Q: What are the benefits of a green card?
A: If you wish to live in the U.S. long term, you should pursue a green card. If you qualify, you’ll be a permanent resident who can live and work in any of the 50 states. You can also travel outside the U.S. and return without worrying about being denied re-entry. Additionally, a green card lets you enjoy certain federal government benefits and allows you to sponsor close family members to immigrate to the U.S. You can apply for citizenship after five years of permanent residence in this country, as well.
Q: Can I bring my fiancé to the U.S.?
A: If you’re engaged to someone who isn’t a citizen and wish to marry in the U.S., you can apply for a K-1 visa. Also known as a fiancé visa, this immigration document lets your fiancé come to the U.S. and marry you within 90 days of arrival to get permanent residency. If you don’t get married within that timeframe, they must leave the country, so it’s essential to talk to skilled immigration attorneys about the strict rules this visa requires you to follow.
Q: How can I bring my family to live with me in the U.S.?
A: Whether you’re a permanent resident or citizen, you might qualify to sponsor close family members who wish to immigrate to the U.S. If you’re a citizen, you can apply for the immediate relative visa to bring your minor children, spouse, and parents to this country. If you’re a lawful permanent resident, you can apply for the family preference visa to help your spouse and minor children come live in the U.S. with you.
Q: What if I’m a victim of a crime in the U.S.?
A: Whether you were brought to this country against your will as part of a crime or you became the victim of criminal activity while living here, there are visas available to protect you. As long as you can prove you were victimized and are willing to help law enforcement catch and prosecute the offenders, you could be eligible for a U or T visa that allows you to live and work in the U.S. for a few years. The right one depends on your circumstances, so contact immigration lawyers to learn about these visas.
Q: What’s the difference between citizenship and permanent residence?
A: Citizens and lawful permanent residents can both live and work in the U.S. indefinitely, even sponsoring close relatives through family-based immigration. However, permanent residents cannot vote or run in elections like citizens can, nor can they serve on a jury. It’s also easier to help certain family members immigrate if you’re a citizen rather than a permanent resident. If you want to apply for citizenship after five years of permanent residence in the U.S., contact our law office for help.
