Answers to the most common inquiries about naturalization in San Francisco
The naturalization process in San Francisco 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.
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.
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 San Francisco immigration attorneys can assess your specific situation and develop the best strategy for your case.
The USCIS San Francisco Field Office is located at 630 Sansome Street, San Francisco, CA 94111. This is where most naturalization interviews and oath ceremonies take place. Our attorneys can help you prepare for your visit and may accompany you to your interview for support.
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.
