Silver Springs, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Naturalization is based primarily on the following factors: Being a Lawful Permanent Resident for 5 years Maintaining residency in the United States Being a person of good moral character In my experience, the immigration status of the applicant's ex-spouse is not relevant to these factors. Assuming that you have maintained residencaligible. However, if you answer yes to any of the questions  and can answer no to the questions on the N-400 pages 6-9 (with the exception of the oath requirements section in which it is expected that you answer yes), you should be eligible to be naturalized. If you have concerns about any answers you provide on pages 6-9, then you would be well advised to consult an immigration attorney.
