United States Citizenship Services
For some, obtaining permanent residency and a physical green card ends their successful immigration to the United States. While green card holders do enjoy many benefits, there are a few that are beyond their reach. To fully enjoy all the benefits of living and working in the country, there’s one final step they need to take. Becoming a U.S. citizen opens the door to all the opportunities this great country has to offer. While the process can feel stressful and confusing, using U.S. citizenship services can help make things easier and make sure you meet all the requirements to become a citizen.
FileRight has helped countless green card holders take the leap from legal residency to card-carrying naturalized citizens. Our streamlined process, coupled with the necessary checks and balances, ensures that most applicants will have their applications approved the first time around.
Citizenship and Naturalization: Are They the Same?
Before we jump into our citizenship services, we’d like to explain the differences between citizenship and naturalization.
Although the terms “citizenship” and “naturalization” are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to different aspects of becoming a U.S. citizen. Citizenship is the status given to individuals who are legally recognized as members of a country, with all the rights and responsibilities that come with it. For those born in the United States or born abroad to U.S. citizen parents, citizenship is automatic and is referred to as “birthright citizenship.”
Naturalization is the legal process through which a foreign national becomes a U.S. citizen. This process is solely for individuals who were not born in the U.S. but wish to obtain citizenship after meeting certain eligibility requirements, such as residing in the U.S. for a certain number of years, passing language and civics exams, and taking an oath of allegiance. While citizenship is the end result, naturalization is the pathway to achieving it.
FileRight U.S. Citizenship and Naturalization Services
After meeting the eligibility requirements for the naturalization process, it’s important to take the next steps carefully. USCIS does not refund application fees, so even a simple error you may feel is harmless could turn into a costly mistake while also delaying the process. However, FileRight’s system will review your application for errors and omissions before you file, ensuring the best chances of being accepted.
We offer other naturalization services as well. Here’s what we can do to help you in all aspects of the U.S. citizenship and naturalization process.
U.S. Citizenship Application (Form N-400)
The beginning of your journey from legal resident to citizen starts with filing USCIS form N-400. We’ve helped countless green card holders take this big step with confidence.
To apply for U.S. citizenship, you must meet residency, language, and moral character requirements. FileRight helps guide you through completing the N-400 form by confirming eligibility, checking for errors and omissions, and how to submit documentation.
We can also help you prepare for the citizenship interview, a necessary part of the naturalization process.
Applying for a Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-600)
If you were born abroad to U.S. citizen parents, you might be able to apply for citizenship through Form N-600. FileRight can help to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria, provides a checklist of required documents, and guides you through the form submission process.
The Certificate of Citizenship is a vital document proving citizenship and is required to fully receive all of the benefits of becoming a U.S. naturalized citizen. Let us help ensure that you’re able to get yours without delays or issues.
Replacing or Correcting Your Citizenship Certificate (Form N-565)
Sometimes, you’ll need to file with USCIS to replace or correct your citizenship certificate. This document is necessary to apply for a U.S. passport, as it proves your citizenship status. It’s also required to prove eligibility for various government benefits and, in some cases, for acquiring a driver’s license.
If you’re already a naturalized citizen and your certificate is lost, damaged, or has incorrect information, you can file Form N-565. FileRight assists in submitting the correct form and documentation to resolve these issues. As is with all USCIS application fees, they don’t offer refunds if your application is rejected.
