The Department of Homeland Security has announced its estimate that there are 13.1 million lawful permanent residents living in the United States. Of those individuals, it is estimated that 8.5 million are eligible to become naturalized citizens.
With over half of the permanent resident population being eligible to naturalize, it bags the question – why are so many individuals not taking the final step and becoming citizens?
If you seek to naturalize, please contact a New York citizenship lawyer to ensure your eligibility.
