On the fence about pursuing citizenship in the United States? At the Law Office of Marron Gebremeskel PLLC, we believe that becoming a U.S. citizen through naturalization represents one of life’s most transformative achievements. If you are a permanent resident, you’ve already built a foundation in America, but citizenship unlocks doors that remain closed to even long-term residents.
U.S. citizenship offers distinct benefits, including:
Attorney Marron Gebremeskel, a former USCIS officer and the daughter of Eritrean refugees, understands the profound impact citizenship has on families. Through her practice, she has guided numerous permanent residents through their naturalization journey, witnessing firsthand how U.S. citizenship and its benefits can truly change lives.
Green card renewals and fees can be costly, adding up significantly over a lifetime. Citizens never pay renewal fees.
More importantly, citizenship can lead to better employment opportunities and higher earning potential, as many federal positions and roles requiring security clearances remain exclusively available to U.S. citizens.
Citizenship grants you the fundamental right to shape America’s future through voting. You can elect representatives who share your values and support policies that matter to your community.
Beyond voting, citizens can run for most elected offices, serve on juries, and fully participate in America’s democratic process. This civic engagement creates a deeper connection to your adopted homeland.
Unlike permanent residents who can lose their green cards under various circumstances, U.S. citizens enjoy absolute security. You cannot be deported for criminal convictions that might affect permanent residents. Your status remains intact regardless of how long you travel abroad.
This security extends beyond legal protection. Citizens can experience profound peace of mind knowing their place in America is permanent and unshakeable.
A U.S. passport opens the world like few other documents can. While permanent residents often face extra visa applications and potential travel restrictions, citizens can simply book their flights and go. This mobility can prove invaluable for business opportunities, family visits, and personal travel.
Citizens enjoy broader family reunification rights than permanent residents. While permanent residents can petition for spouses and unmarried children, citizens can also sponsor married adult children, parents, and siblings. This advantage can help citizens reunite their families more completely and quickly.
Perhaps the most profound benefit affects your children. Parents who become U.S. citizens can create the opportunity for citizenship for their children under 18 who are lawful permanent residents. This generational impact allows your family’s American legacy to continue seamlessly.
Though the benefits of citizenship are undeniable, the naturalization process to access them requires careful preparation and attention to detail. From determining eligibility to passing the civics test, each step matters tremendously. Attorney Marron Gebremeskel is uniquely positioned to be your guide in this journey, having successfully guided numerous permanent residents through naturalization. Her unique background as a former USCIS officer provides invaluable insights into what immigration officials look for during the process.
