Naturalization (and citizenship) laws can be complicated.  We can let you know whether (and when) you'll be eligible, for free.  Simply use the form on the right to contact us.  

Or, simply call our main office line at (703) 964-0245.

Call us before you file, but especially if:

1. If you have a criminal record, or have ever been arrested (even if the charges were dismissed) it is very important for you to consult an attorney before filing for naturalization.  In some cases, it is better not to file.
2. If you cannot speak (or learn) English, we can help qualify you for the N-648 disability waiver. We can help you locate a physician with experience, and many physicians do not adequately explain the "nexus" between the condition and the inability to speak/learn English. USCIS is very tough on these waivers.
3. If you spent more than 6 months outside the US in the last 3 -5 years, it's very important to talk to us before you file.
4. If you got your green card based on marriage, be advisd that USCIS may investigate your marriage all over again.
5. Also, if you had your citizenship interview more than 120 days ago, you may have certain rights.  We may be able to help you, so be sure to let us know.
