Citizenship and naturalization
Naturalization is the last step for most green card holders. The N-400 asks about years of travel, addresses, work, taxes and any arrests. We review that history before you file, because the interview is where it gets examined.
Who we help

What clients say
I had a great experience working with Volkan and his team throughout my U.S. citizenship process. They guided me through every step of the naturalization procedure and were always professional, responsive, and helpful whenever I had questions. The entire process felt well organized, and I always felt supported and informed. I truly appreciate their hard work and guidance, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable immigration legal support. Thank you again for all your help.
Mr. Volkan Anik has been incredibly helpful for my family during our green card process from initial to extension and most recently with the citizenship process! As a family, we greatly appreciate Mr. Volkan Anik and his team with all of their help and professionalism and would happily recommend them to anyone that needs assistance with any immigration process!
My wife became a U.S. citizen with the help of Mr. Volkan, and we are truly grateful for everything he did for us. He is extremely knowledgeable, but what stood out the most was how supportive and responsive he was throughout the entire process. Whenever we had a question, he was always there to explain things clearly and calmly, and we never felt confused or stressed. He made the whole experience smooth and reassuring. My wife, Eda, and I genuinely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring attorney who delivers great results.

Common questions
When can I apply?
Generally after five years as a permanent resident, or three years if you have been married to and living with a U.S. citizen spouse for that time. USCIS accepts filings up to 90 days early.
Do long trips abroad matter?
Yes. A trip of six months or more can raise questions about continuous residence, and a trip of a year or more usually breaks it. We review your travel before filing.
