At BRAVLIN PC, we guide clients through the final and most rewarding step in their immigration journey—becoming a United States citizen. Whether you’ve lived in the U.S. for years as a lawful permanent resident or are pursuing citizenship through your parents, our goal is to make the process as clear, efficient, and stress-free as possible.
From our Arlington, VA office, we serve clients in Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, and throughout the United States through our fully remote services. No matter where you are, we can help you prepare, apply, and succeed in your path to U.S. citizenship.
Why U.S. Citizenship Matters
Becoming a U.S. citizen brings with it the highest level of security and opportunity under immigration law. As a citizen, you gain rights and privileges such as:
- The right to vote in U.S. elections
- The ability to apply for federal jobs requiring citizenship
- The ability to sponsor certain family members for green cards without numerical limits
- Protection from deportation or removal
- Eligibility for a U.S. passport and freedom to travel internationally with fewer restrictions
For many, citizenship is also a powerful milestone—an affirmation of belonging, commitment, and identity in their adopted country.
Eligibility for Naturalization
The most common path to citizenship is naturalization, a process available to certain lawful permanent residents (green card holders). While the exact requirements can vary, you may be eligible to apply if you:
- Have been a lawful permanent resident for at least 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen)
- Have maintained continuous residence and physical presence in the U.S.
- Demonstrate good moral character
- Can pass an English language test (with certain exceptions)
- Can pass a civics test covering U.S. history and government
- Are willing to take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States
At BRAVLIN PC, we review your eligibility carefully to ensure that applying now is the right step. We’ll identify any potential risks—such as prolonged absences from the U.S., past criminal history, or tax issues—that could impact your application.

We provide end-to-end legal support for all types of citizenship cases, including:
- Naturalization Applications (Form N-400) – Preparing and filing your application with complete supporting documentation
