Naturalization (Citizenship)

Green card holders may be eligible to apply for naturalization after three years (when married to a U.S. citizen for those years) or five years for almost everyone else.

Eligibility also depends on physical presence in the United States: in general you must have been here for at least half of the qualifying period, without any single absence long enough to break residency. Border Crossing Law Firm reviews your history and represents you through the entire naturalization process.

Border Crossing Law Firm handles this service for a clear flat fee of $1,000/month for 3 months, $3,000 in total. Work on your case begins with the first payment. Government filing fees are separate and not included in the legal fee.

For Form N-400 (naturalization), USCIS currently reports that at a typical office, half of cases finish within about 10.5 months and 8 in 10 finish within about 12.1 months (USCIS data, July 15, 2026). See current USCIS processing times for your office.

Government filing fees (as of July 2026)

Government filing fees change frequently. We confirm the current amounts with you again at the time of filing, and the firm is not responsible for government fee increases.

What the flat fee includes

After the first payment, the firm e-mails an Attorney-Client Contract for electronic signature, a link to the online intake form, and a checklist of documents to start collecting. Attorney Shahid Haque is available by e-mail, phone, and video throughout the case.
