Frequently Asked Questions About Naturalization in Mexico City

Answers to the most common inquiries about naturalization for Mexico City residents

How long does the naturalization process take for Mexico City residents?

The naturalization process for Mexico City residents typically takes between 8 to 14 months from filing to oath ceremony. Processing times can vary based on USCIS workload and individual case factors. Our attorneys monitor your case progress and keep you informed throughout the process.

What happens if I fail the citizenship test?

If you fail either the English or civics test during your interview, USCIS will schedule a second interview, usually within 60-90 days. You'll only need to retake the portion you failed. Our attorneys provide comprehensive test preparation to help you succeed on your first attempt.

Can I apply for citizenship if I have a criminal record?

Having a criminal record doesn't automatically disqualify you from citizenship, but it requires careful evaluation. Minor offenses may not affect your application, while certain crimes can impact the "good moral character" requirement. Our immigration attorneys can assess your specific situation and develop the best strategy for your case.

Do I need to travel to the United States for my naturalization interview?

Yes, you will need to travel to the United States for your naturalization interview and biometrics appointment. These typically take place at the USCIS field office that has jurisdiction over your U.S. residence. Our attorneys can help you prepare for these appointments and understand what to expect.

What documents do I need for my naturalization application?

Required documents typically include your green card, passport(s), tax returns for the past 5 years, marriage certificate (if applicable), divorce decrees (if applicable), and evidence of physical presence in the U.S. Our attorneys will provide a comprehensive checklist tailored to your specific situation.
