Reasons to use a New York citizenship lawyer

Using a citizenship lawyer can help you overcome obstacles in obtaining citizenship, such as—

• Language barriers. Many immigrants have a limited knowledge and understanding of English, which can get in the way of successfully moving through the naturalization process. Until they reach the point where their basic English skills are adequate to pass the citizenship test, they may need someone to explain specific laws, requirements, and the procedures involved with obtaining citizenship.
• Lack of legal understanding. Relying on family members can help, especially when an immigrant has difficulties with English, but family members often do not have a correct legal grasp of the obstacles being encountered. For example, a New York citizenship lawyer is familiar with and can recognize immediately whether you fail to meet a qualification for citizenship and can advise the appropriate legal recourse to remedy shortcomings.
• Citizenship application errors. Mistakes made in filling out the citizenship application can result in delays, denied applications, and in the worst case scenarios—deportation. For more information about getting legal help with citizenship applications, see our page titled Buffalo citizenship lawyer.
• Difficulties preparing for the citizenship test. With adequate preparation, most people can pass a U.S. citizenship test. However, misunderstanding what the test requires and what to do if you fail the test can end up in citizenship denial. Our Niagara Falls citizenship attorney page provides more information about assistance with citizenship tests.
