Imperial Beach is a relaxed, welcoming city with deep community roots and a proud connection to the border region. If you’re living here and ready to take the next step toward becoming a U.S. citizen, Victor Hernandez Law is here to help. Applying for citizenship through naturalization is a significant milestone with essential rights and responsibilities. Our team provides clear, step-by-step support to help you confidently complete the process.

• Naturalization (Form N-400): We’ll work closely with you to prepare and submit your application, ensuring that all required documents are in place and everything is filled out correctly.
• Citizenship Through Parents: If you have acquired or derived citizenship from a parent, we can help you determine your eligibility and file the proper forms.
• Interview and Test Prep: We offer personal guidance and practice tools to help you get ready for the naturalization interview and civics test.
• Eligibility Review: We closely examine your history—including physical presence, continuous residence, and good moral character—to ensure you meet the requirements.
• Addressing Legal Barriers: If you’ve had immigration issues or past criminal charges, we can help you understand how they affect your case and your options.
• Denials and Appeals: If your application has been denied, we’ll review it, explain what happened, and help you file an appeal or a new application if necessary.

If your family members are already in the U.S., we can help them adjust their status to become lawful permanent residents. This process involves a detailed eligibility review and may include interviews with immigration officers. For loved ones abroad, we guide you through consular Processing, which provides for petition approval, document submission, and preparation for the visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate. We aim to simplify your family visa journey and eliminate delays caused by paperwork errors or missed deadlines.

We don’t treat you like just another case number. We take the time to understand your background and your goals so we can provide you with the legal support that best suits your situation.

• Personalized legal strategy based on your unique case
• Years of experience handling immigration matters in San Diego County
• Supportive guidance throughout a process that can feel overwhelming
• Ongoing help from start to finish, including after your application is submitted

Becoming a U.S. citizen means more than just getting a certificate. It’s about securing your future, gaining full rights, and feeling a stronger connection to your home community. And in a tight-knit city like Imperial Beach, those connections matter.
