Citizenship
Becoming a U.S. citizen is the dream of many people across the world. American citizens enjoy significant benefits related to voting, travel, and the ability to petition for family members. The U.S. government is committed to protecting you when you travel and you can reenter the U.S. easily after long absences.
Once you are a permanent resident, you can apply to naturalize within five years or within three years if you are married to a U.S. citizen.

"I reached out to Passage Immigration for assistance with
my naturalization application. Mr. Widman and his team were
terrific throughout the entire process. They answered all my
questions and the process they have in place to collect the information needed for the application was simple and more importantly
well organized. I was also very impressed with their professionalism.
I was not pressured into procuring additional services
and Mr. Wideman was upfront about how the entire process
would go. I highly recommend this law firm"
