Citizenship & Naturalization Services
Citizenship & Naturalization Services in Houston
U.S. citizenship changes everything. You get the right to vote, access to federal jobs, and a real voice in the country’s future. The process can look overwhelming, but once you know the steps, it’s a lot more manageable than it seems.
What It Takes to Become a Citizen
There’s a checklist you have to clear before you can call yourself a U.S. citizen. Most people need five years as a green card holder, a clean record, and the ability to pass English and civics exams. Our team at Goodnews Law Firm makes sure you’re set before you even start the paperwork.
Who Qualifies for Naturalization?
Before you get started, make sure you check these boxes:
- 18 or older
- Continuous permanent residency
- Physically present in the U.S. for the required time
- Basic English skills—reading, writing, and speaking
- Knowledge of U.S. history and government
That’s just the foundation. The real work comes in the details—getting every document right, avoiding mistakes, and keeping things on track. We’ve helped people from Spring, Conroe, and all over Houston get it done without the headaches.
How the Naturalization Process Works in Houston
