must have been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence;
- Generally, an applicant must show that he or she has been a person of good moral character for the statutory period;

Our firm will review a client's residency to determine eligibility and also assess impediments to citizenship
that may arise from an arrest, failure to prepare and file proper income taxes, substantial stays abroad, failure to register
for selective service and other issues.
