Living outside the U.S. can affect your eligibility for naturalization, particularly regarding the continuous residence and physical presence requirements. However, certain exceptions exist for those living abroad due to employment with U.S. companies, the U.S. government, or certain religious organizations. Our attorneys can evaluate your specific situation and advise on how your residence in Monterrey impacts your eligibility.

What documents do I need for my naturalization application from Monterrey?

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 and help you gather these documents while in Monterrey.
