It can take USCIS a long time to process applications for citizenship – and that’s assuming that the application has been submitted correctly and is completely filled out. If you submit an application with errors or that is lacking in important information, you’re likely to face even longer delays. Investing in an attorney well versed in immigration law is a great way to help reduce the risk that your application will be rejected and the entire process placed on hold. The Law Offices of Solomon D. Gilliam, P.C., have excellent and skilled attorneys who understand the immigration and citizenship process and are happy to help you through the process.

Another area of the process where qualified attorneys can assist is during the citizenship interview itself. The interview itself can be a long and intimidating affair, and even those who have prepared for years and are confident in their answers can experience some anxiety or nervousness. If you’re worried about the way in which your behavior might affect the way the interviewer sees your answers, then you should consider bringing an immigration lawyer along with you. They can help ensure that your nervousness doesn’t impede your qualifications for citizenship and will help get things started on a good note.

Remember that this is your citizenship and your life in jeopardy. While not every client will need a lawyer to accompany them to their citizenship interview, it’s better to have the option and not need it than to desperately need the help and be unable to find it. Don’t leave your future to chance.
