Citizenship & Naturalization Lawyer in Tampa, Florida
Serving Sarasota, Clearwater, St Petersburg, Pasco County
& Beyond
If you have been a permanent resident in the
Tampa Bay, Florida area for years and would like to explore
the possibilities of US citizenship, we congratulate you.
Becoming a US citizen has many benefits that are well worth
the effort, but immigrants may be overwhelmed with the list
of requirements, tests, and applications required during the
naturalization process. A citizenship and naturalization lawyer
from Maney | Gordon, P.A. in Tampa, Florida will assist you
every step of the way so that you can be confident of achieving
your goal.
Naturalization is the legal process you must
complete to become a citizen of the USA. The basic requirements
for naturalization are the same for everyone, whether you
are in Tampa, Florida or Albuquerque, New Mexico. The assistance
of an attorney is not required to complete the steps of naturalization,
but a citizenship and naturalization lawyer often helps immigrants
avoid minor mistakes that can cause the delay or rejection
of a citizenship application.
At Maney | Gordon, our citizenship and naturalization
lawyers in Tampa, Florida have 32 years of experience and
we are board certified in Immigration and Nationality Law.
Our Tampa immigration
attorneys are members of the Florida Bar and our firm
has earned an AV rating—the top rating available—from
Martindale Hubbell. We welcome you to speak to us about the
requirements of citizenship and naturalization, such as being:
- The age of 18 or older (unless adopted
by a US citizen)
- A lawful permanent resident of the USA
for at least 5 years (or less in some cases)
- Knowledgeable about US government and
history
- Able to read, write, and speak English
(not applicable to certain age groups and disabilities)
- Of good moral character
- Of favorable disposition toward the US
and its constitution
After you have completed the requirements
of naturalization and become a US citizen, you can enjoy
many new advantages and rights that are not available
to those with a green
card or immigration
visa. For instance, you will be able to sponsor relatives
from abroad to be legal permanent residents in the USA.
You will be free to travel out of the country without
worrying about losing your immigration status. You will
also qualify for more job opportunities and you will be
free to vote in elections. The citizenship and naturalization
lawyers at Maney | Gordon in Tampa, Florida are proud
to be a part of securing these rights for our clients.
