However, we believe that applying for citizenship is usually a great idea because it comes with great benefits, and qualifying individuals should apply for U.S. citizenship now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s go over some of the benefits of being a U.S. citizen. First, U.S. citizens\u2019 rights include having the right to vote in federal elections, eligibility for federal employment, and protection from deportation. Second, U.S. citizens can travel more freely because they can enter and leave the country without worrying about visa restrictions and can obtain assistance from U.S. embassies and consulates aboard if they encounter difficulties while traveling. Lastly, U.S. citizens can facilitate the process of bringing family members because they can sponsor certain family members for green cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, now, we have seen the federal government change some policies and rules in some immigration processes, this includes citizenship. Though immigration fees heavily increased for most immigration processes, the naturalization process fee increased very little jumping from $725 USD to $760 USD. Additionally, unlike other USCIS forms, the N-400 application form was simplified because it now contains far less questions than before. With this and the fact that we are in an election year, our office understands and interprets that the federal government is attempting to encourage qualifying individuals to apply for their citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, our office has seen N-400 application processing times at the quickest they have ever been. Before, N-400 applications usually had a duration of one year, but now the application roughly has a duration of five months, however, we have seen N-400 applications be approved as quick as two weeks. For these and many reasons, we encourage qualifying individuals to apply for their U.S. citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you want to learn more about the citizenship process or are you interested in applying, call us today at <a href=\"tel:9153142363\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-1-color\">(915) 314-2363<\/mark><\/a> to schedule a consultation today!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seg\u00fan lo que hemos visto en nuestra oficina, solicitar la ciudadan\u00eda estadounidense puede ser una de esas cosas que algunos clientes piensan que es innecesaria o algo que los clientes posponen para cuando expire su Tarjeta Verde.
