The naturalization process in San Jose typically takes between 8 to 14 months from filing to oath ceremony. Processing times can vary based on USCIS workload and individual case complexity. Our attorneys can provide you with current processing time estimates for the San Jose USCIS office.
You'll need your green card, passport(s), driver's license or state ID, Social Security card, tax returns for the past 5 years, marriage certificate (if applicable), divorce decrees (if applicable), and documentation of any legal name changes or criminal history. Our attorneys will provide a comprehensive checklist tailored to your specific situation.
The San Jose USCIS Field Office is located at 1450 Coleman Avenue, Santa Clara, CA 95050. This is where your biometrics appointment and citizenship interview will take place. Our office can provide detailed directions and information about parking and public transportation options.
It depends on the nature and timing of the offense. Minor violations may not affect your eligibility, while certain crimes can permanently bar you from citizenship. Our San Jose immigration attorneys can review your criminal history and advise you on how it might impact your naturalization application and potential strategies to address any issues.
If you fail either the English or civics test, you will be rescheduled for 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 pass on your first attempt, but we also offer additional coaching if a retest is needed.
