South Florida Attorneys Establishing U.S. Citizenship

Guidance from Our Qualified Immigration Lawyer Serving St. Lucie & Martin Counties & Surrounding Areas

If you, your loved ones, or your employees are seeking citizenship in the United States of America, you have come to the right place! The Gaston Law Firm, P. A. is the compassionate, hard-working advocate you need to achieve your goals. A person born abroad to parents who are United States citizens is automatically a citizen, as is a person who is born in the United States unless born to foreign parents with diplomatic status.

Becoming a Citizen of the United States of America

There are many steps involved in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen. Because the immigration process involves its own unique obstacles and roadblocks, it will be wise to work with a knowledgeable professional. Our lawyers can prepare you for every step of the citizenship process and help you set up for ultimate success.

Citizenship can be acquired by:

Applying for a certificate of citizenship
Applying for naturalization if you have been a lawful permanent resident for three years if married to a U.S. citizen or five years otherwise

After the initial application, the next step is an interview to test the applicant on their knowledge of U.S. history, government, civics, and of reading and writing English. If you would like to begin the citizenship process, you need a competent and knowledgeable lawyer on your side. Call our office today.

"Always there, very polite, and professional"
Mr. Gaston and Ms. Ivana were always there, very polite and professional. At one point when I had to step back Mr. Gaston refunded some of my money back which at this day and age you don't expect. We obtained my husbands residency with no problems and there was open communication the whole time. I highly recommend this firm.

I have been working with the Gaston Law firm from 2016 until 2019. It is easy for me to give them a great review as they assisted me and supported me in getting my Permanent Resident card through my complicated circumstance. They were there to provide me with accurate information and guidance even when I was anxious and had little hope. Their confidence in believing in my case and their personable presence really made me feel that they were invested in my life. I would recommend Mr. Gaston as well as Ivana, if anyone ever needs any guidance in this matter.

"With a knowledgeable and professional firm, my case went from impossible to me having my residency."
I want to thank The Gaston Law Firm for the excellent service they provided. I could not have received my Alien/Residency card without the help of The Gaston Law Firm. The staff was extremely helpful during this process and Mr. Gaston's knowledge of the immigration laws was pronounced. Without his knowledge and the staff's ability to navigate me through this process it would have been implausible. I am forever grateful. K.L.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions

I’m a foreign national studying in the U.S., can I stay within the country following graduation?

To stay in the country following graduation, a student will need to obtain an H-1B temporary worker visa. Typically, graduates who work in a specialty field (such as a medical professional or engineer) will be able to obtain this visa with ease. To ensure that this process moves smoothly, it is recommended that students apply for this visa as early as possible to avoid penalties.
Can I become a citizen after I am granted permanent residency?

Yes! If you live in the country for five years as a permanent resident, you will be able to obtain citizenship through naturalization. To be eligible for this, however, you must have been physically living in the country for at least half of those five years – and must not have left for a time period longer than six months.
I am looking to adopt a foreign child – how can I make the process as fast as possible?

For those who are looking into adoption, but have yet to identify the child that they are interested in adopting, it is recommended that they file an Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition. This will allow for the portion relating to the approval of the parents to be completed by the time the child is chosen so that the adoption process can be expedited.
If I become a citizen, what are the privileges that I will experience?

There are three primary privileges that citizens can experience. These include being able to vote in local, state and national elections; having the ability to obtain a passport; and sponsoring relatives in their efforts to become a permanent resident.
