We have another uplifting story to share — about a client who did everything right, but still needed the right guidance to make sure the naturalization process stayed on track.
Our client entered the United States in 2012 and later became a lawful permanent resident in 2019.
He obtained permanent residence through an employment-based case as a spouse derivative, and built a life rooted in stability here in New York — including maintaining the same job since 2016.
When it came time to apply for citizenship, he was also in a strong position: he took only short trips abroad that did not raise any continuous or physical presence issues, and he met all good moral character requirements.
There were no criminal concerns, no unpaid taxes, no child support issues, and full compliance with all legal obligations.
The client filed his naturalization (N-400) application in July 2025.
USCIS then scheduled the interview for December 2025 — but there was a problem: our client already had international travel plans in place.
This is where strategy mattered.
Our team stepped in, reviewed the timing, and helped the client reschedule the interview properly so the case could move forward without unnecessary risk or confusion.
The interview was successfully rescheduled for January 2026.
He attended the interview fully prepared — and was approved.
Now, he is officially scheduled for his oath ceremony, marking the final step toward becoming a U.S. citizen.
This case is a great reminder that even when your record is clean and your eligibility is strong, naturalization is the stage where USCIS reviews your entire immigration history closely. Having an attorney review your full immigration background — and guide you through interview prep and logistics — can make all the difference.
