"I had a great experience working with Sam on my E-2 visa from Canada. After dealing with two unresponsive attorneys, Sam was a huge relief—always responsive, professional, and reliable. He consistently answered my calls or followed up within a few hours. His fees were reasonable, and the level of service was truly five-star. Thank you, Sam, for your outstanding support and guidance throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an immigration attorney."

★★★★★
"I initially hesitated to work with Sam because he was blunt and honest, while other attorneys made big promises. In hindsight, I realized that his straightforwardness was a strength. The other lawyers ended up charging me extra for services I didn't need, while he provided clear and realistic advice. I wish I had gone with him from the start. If you want someone who tells it like it is, he's a great choice!"

Common Questions About Seeking Citizenship in Texas
A green card gives you lawful permanent resident status, but U.S. citizenship gives you a more secure legal status, the right to vote, broader protection from removal, and the ability to apply for a U.S. passport. Green card holders must still maintain residency and can face immigration consequences for certain issues. For many permanent residents, speaking with a citizenship attorney before applying helps clarify what changes legally once naturalization is complete.
Naturalization generally requires lawful permanent residence, continuous residence, physical presence, good moral character, basic English ability, and knowledge of U.S. civics, though some exceptions may apply. USCIS also reviews travel history, tax issues, criminal history, prior immigration filings, and whether the applicant meets the eligibility rules before approval. A naturalization lawyer may focus heavily on these details before filing because small problems can become major delays once USCIS begins review.
You are not required to hire a lawyer to apply for citizenship, but legal guidance can be valuable if you have long trips outside the United States, old criminal issues, tax concerns, prior denials, name changes, selective service questions, or uncertainty about your eligibility. The N-400 process is a legal review of your background and qualifications for citizenship. The Texas citizenship and naturalization attorneys at Faragalla Law help applicants prepare accurate filings, organize supporting records, and address potential concerns before they reach the interview stage.
If your naturalization application is denied, USCIS should explain the reason in writing and identify whether you may request further review. Some applicants may be able to pursue an N-336 denial hearing, while others may need to correct the issue before refiling or consider a different legal response. The next step depends on the denial reason, deadline, evidence available, and whether the problem involves eligibility, documents, testimony, or USCIS error.
