U.S. Citizenship & Naturalization
Naturualization is the process by which an individual obtains United States citizenship. Citizenship may be obtained by operation of law (automatically) or by applying with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service. Michael Gianelli can help you navigate the naturalization process and help you understand any applicable risks associated with applying for citizenship.

-U.S. citizens may sponsor immediate relatives (spouses, parents, unmarried minor children) for a green card without a long wait for visa availability.;

-Freely travel to and from the United States without fears of immigration consequences;
