Best law firm ever! They definitely get the job done, no matter how long it might take! I also l love the fact that they have someone calling periodically to check to see if you’re satisfied with the team you are assigned and how your case is going. For me that was a great plus! My family and I have known the firm for so many years and have always been satisfied with the team assigned to us. I have finally obtained my Green this Jun 2024 after battling with it for 20 years! My Lawyer Kimberly and paralegal Nicolette has been amazing throughout the process and always available when I need them! I couldn’t ask for a better team!

Spar and Bernstein law offices was recommended by a social worker at the nursing home to assist with a serious immigration problem we did not know how to solve. It turned out to be the best thing we could have done. They were knowledgeable on how to navigate the immigration system, a daunting task for the average person to understand. They were patient with our many questions and concerns, and we found them to be proactive, responsive, knowledgeable, and kept us informed throughout the process, which was quite lengthy. We were pleased with the final result and can wholeheartedly recommend this law firm to represent your needs.

Immigration Law FAQ

To apply for US citizenship, you must establish good moral character prior to your naturalization application.

USCIS may look at conduct beyond the one-, three- or five-year period to determine whether you have demonstrated reformed behavior from an earlier period.

If you were ever convicted of murder or if you were convicted of an aggravated felony after November 29, 1990, you are permanently barred from naturalization. Contact the knowledgeable immigration attorneys at Spar Bernstein who understand how criminal convictions may affect your naturalization.

Most naturalization applicants must be permanent residents for five years before being eligible to naturalize.

Spouses of US citizens and people who obtained green cards as abused spouses under VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) are eligible to naturalize after having their green cards for three years.

If you honorably served in the US armed forces for one year, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization.

You can file your naturalization application 90 days prior to reaching the required time frame. For example, if you are applying under the five-year rule, you may submit your N-400 application after being a permanent resident for four years and nine months and 3 days.
