Becoming a U.S. Citizen Is a Life-Changing Milestone

For many immigrants, becoming a U.S. citizen is a powerful achievement — representing safety, stability, opportunity, and the ability to build a future without fear of losing legal status. The naturalization process, however, can be confusing without proper guidance, especially when evaluating eligibility, gathering documentation, and preparing for the citizenship interview and exam.

At Virgen & Virgen Law, we have helped individuals and families in San Antonio successfully complete the citizenship process for over 25 years. Working with an experienced citizenship lawyer in San Antonio ensures your application is handled accurately from start to finish, giving you the best chance at approval.


Who Is Eligible to Apply for U.S. Citizenship?

You may qualify to apply for U.S. Citizenship if you meet certain requirements, including:

  • You have been a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) for:

    • 5 years, or

    • 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen

  • You are 18 years or older

  • You can speak, read, and write basic English (with some exceptions)

  • You have good moral character

  • You have continuous residence and physical presence in the U.S.

  • You can pass the civics test and interview

Many people may also be citizens automatically through parents or grandparents without realizing it — and our office can help determine this status.

Why You Need a Citizenship Lawyer in San Antonio

Although USCIS provides the N-400 application form online, mistakes or omissions can lead to:

  • Delays

  • Requests for evidence (RFE)

  • Denials

  • Additional interviews

  • Legal complications affecting future benefits

A knowledgeable citizenship lawyer in San Antonio helps you:

  • Confirm eligibility before filing

  • Review immigration history for risks

  • Complete and file the N-400 correctly

  • Prepare for interview questions & civics exam

  • Resolve issues such as criminal history, prior immigration errors, or long trips abroad

  • Avoid delays and costly mistakes

At Virgen & Virgen Law, we walk through every step personally with our clients — not through assistants — so you always feel informed, supported, and confident.


Benefits of Becoming a U.S. Citizen

  • Right to vote, including in presidential elections

  • Apply for federal employment opportunities

  • Obtain a U.S. passport

  • Travel outside the U.S. without fear of losing status

  • Protect minor children by passing citizenship automatically

  • Sponsor more family members for residency

  • Permanent protection from deportation

Naturalization opens doors that permanent residency does not.

  • One-on-one legal guidance

  • Support preparing for the English and civics exam

  • Document review and submission to USCIS

  • Interview preparation and representation if needed
