Naturalization Update

Never has there been a better time for eligible applicants to Naturalize and become U.S. Citizens. Recent Naturalization cases successfully accomplished by Reeves and Associates show a timeframe of about 3-8 months in most cases.

In a surprising Press Release announcement dated January 28, 2010, USCIS stated that there are nearly 3.5 million Legal Permanent Residents (Green Card Holders) in the State of California. According to USCIS, 2.5 million of these legal permanent residents are currently eligible to naturalize and become U.S. Citizens.

Judge: Immigrants’ Children ‘Age Out’ of Their Parents’ Green Card Applications at 21

A federal judge has ruled that adult children who turn 21 while waiting for family-sponsored green cards have to wait anew once they “age out” of their parents’ applications.

U.S. District Judge James Selna ruled in Los Angeles against a group of immigrants with green cards who sued the federal government, arguing a 2002 law means grown children should be allowed into the country when their parents file new paperwork on their behalf.

Friday’s final ruling means the plaintiffs’ children who became adults while waiting for processing must start the application process from the beginning.
