You don’t have to figure out the U.S. citizenship process on your own—you need an experienced immigration attorney.
At Holland Global Law, we help individuals and families apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization, including preparing and filing the Form N-400 application, reviewing eligibility, and preparing for the citizenship interview and test.

We regularly assist clients with more complex situations, including:

Frequently Asked Questions

Processing times vary depending on your location and USCIS workload. Most naturalization cases take several months to over a year.
You can check current timelines directly on the USCIS Processing Times page.

-
In most cases, yes.
USCIS requires applicants to attend a naturalization interview, where an officer will:
review your Form N-400 application
ask questions about your background and eligibility
test your English (if required)
administer the civics exam
We help you prepare so you know exactly what to expect and how to answer questions clearly and confidently.
-
At your interview, a USCIS officer will go through your application in detail and confirm your eligibility for U.S. citizenship.
You should expect:
questions about your travel history, residence, and background
a review of any past immigration or legal issues
an English reading and writing test (if applicable)
a civics test covering U.S. history and government
Many delays and denials happen at this stage—not because someone is ineligible, but because they were unprepared. We help you prepare in advance so there are no surprises.
-
Possibly—but this must be carefully evaluated before applying.
Even minor offenses, misdemeanors, or expunged records can impact your eligibility for naturalization. USCIS reviews your good moral character during the statutory period, and certain issues can lead to delays, denial, or even immigration consequences.
We strongly recommend a legal review before filing if you have any criminal history.
-
Frequent or extended international travel can affect your eligibility for citizenship.
USCIS looks at:
continuous residence
physical presence in the U.S.
whether you may have disrupted your residency
We review your travel history to determine whether it impacts your application and how to address it properly.
-
Yes—some applicants qualify for an English language exemption.
You may be able to take the civics test in your native language if you meet certain age and residency requirements (for example, long-term green card holders over a certain age).
We help determine whether you qualify and how to properly request accommodations.
-
Yes, they can.
USCIS expects applicants to demonstrate good moral character, which includes:
filing required tax returns
resolving outstanding tax issues
Unresolved IRS matters can delay or negatively impact your application. We help you identify and address these issues before filing.
-
A denial does not always mean the process is over.
Depending on the reason, you may be able to:
file an appeal (Form N-336)
reapply for naturalization
address the issue and move forward later
In some cases, a denial can have broader immigration consequences, so it’s important to understand your options before taking the next step.
