Attorney Meimaris works with you all the way through to this last step of the immigration process. If your spouse gets a green card by marriage through you, the citizen wife or citizen husband, he or she needs to wait only 3 years, instead of the 5 years for all other legal permanent residents, to apply for naturalization or citizenship.

The Law Office of Emmanuel V. Meimaris provides an immigration attorney who will handle the entire citizenship process for you - you do not need to complete any paperwork.

The firm provides you with the study materials for your examination and prepare you for what to expect at your interview with the U.S. immigration service. Depending on the location, the attorney may be available to go with you to the interview to make sure that it goes smoothly.

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a foreigner after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The general requirements for naturalization include:

  • a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the U.S.;
  • an ability to read, write and speak English;
  • a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government;
  • good moral character;
  • attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and
  • favorable disposition toward the United States.

If you are a legal permanent resident of the United States, you have what is commonly known as a green card. Once you have obtained this status, you can apply for full citizenship through the naturalization process. However, there are a number of things that can complicate this process:

Problems with filing: If you have a criminal record or you failed to register with the Selective Service, you may not be able to apply for citizenship at this time. Attorney Meimaris can help you identify these concerns and search for solutions.

Language barriers: The naturalization process is complex, and it is even harder to understand when you learn about it in another language. Offering Russian and Greek translation, Attorney Meimaris can help you understand what is going on.

Duration of permanent residency: If you have spent a considerable amount of time out of the country since obtaining permanent residency, you may not qualify for citizenship.

While he will be there for you throughout the entire citizenship and naturalization process, Attorney Meimaris will also provide you with the resources to prepare yourself. He will make sure you know what to expect from the entire procedure, as well as your actual interview.
