- Taking a citizenship test
- Taking an Oath of Allegiance
Additional actions include submitting documents such as special forms, photos, copies of Green Cards, copies of marriage certificates or divorce decrees, etc. The naturalization process can take anywhere between 15 to 20 months.
Key Requirements for Naturalization

“We brought a very challenging case to this firm, one that other attorneys had passed on, telling us our chances of success were slim. Sebastian Simon was upfront and honest about the difficulties we faced and clearly laid out his strategy to win. Thanks to his expertise, we recently won in court and were granted a change in status. We are eternally grateful to Sebastian and his team, especially Alde Duran, one of his legal assistants. Alde was not only informative and responsive to all of our communications but also incredibly organized and attentive to every detail, which made the entire process smoother for us. Muchas gracias, Alde!!”- G.M.
