Citizenship and Naturalization

If you’ve held a Green Card for several years, you may be eligible to become a U.S. citizen. At theWay, Inc., we’ve helped hundreds of immigrants navigate the naturalization process with confidence and success. 

Our Citizenship Process 

1. Initial Consultation
   We begin with a personalized consultation to assess your eligibility based on factors like:

• Length of time as a Green Card holder (typically 5 years, or 3 if married to a U.S. citizen) 

• Time spent in the U.S. 

• State residency 

• Any legal or tax issues 

2. Contract Us
3. Filing Form N-400
   Once hired, we gather your information and prepare Form N-400, the official application for naturalization. After a thorough review, we submit your application to USCIS and await your interview date.
4. 4. Interview & Exam Preparation
   We help you prepare for:

• A brief interview about your application 

• A civics test (10 questions from a list of 100; you must answer 6 correctly) 

• A basic English reading and writing test 

• Special accommodations may be available based on age and residency—ask us if you qualify. 

5. 5. Oath Ceremony
   After passing your interview and exam, you’ll attend an Oath Ceremony and receive your 
6. Certificate of Naturalization—your official proof of U.S. citizenship. You can then apply for a U.S. passport and update your legal documents.

Helping Your Family After Naturalization 

Once you’re a citizen, you can: 

• Petition for Green Cards for your spouse, parents, and other family members 

• Automatically pass citizenship to children under 18 who are permanent residents and in your custody 

• Children over 18 must go through the standard naturalization process. 

Our team have successfully handled hundreds of naturalization cases—from straightforward to complex. Whether you’re a returning client or new to our office, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
