We recently received an approval for one of our naturalization clients from Irvine. We represented her in adjusting her status to green card holder based on being the victim of domestic violence. Normally, lawful permanent residents must wait five years from the start of permanent resident status before they can file the N-400 application for naturalization. However, green card holders that obtain permanent resident status based on domestic violence victimization under the Violence Against Women Act are eligible to naturalize after only three years.
We filed the N-400 earlier this year and interview was conducted in the Santa Ana USCIS office earlier this month. There was a slight delay after the interview because the officer had to transfer the VAWA file from the Vermont Service Center to make sure our client was eligible for naturalization.
The interview went smoothly other than the file transfer issue. My client is excited to take her oath of citizenship later this month. If you are considering the naturalization process, contact The Nunez Firm to schedule a consultation. Managing attorney Jay Nunez will personally meet with you to help you better understand the process and what issues or problems might be expected.
