We are proud to assist individuals and families from around the world in achieving US citizenship. We can help you, too. If your spouse, parent, or child passed away due to combat-related injuries, your path to US citizenship may be quick and easy.
We are sorry to hear about the loss of a family member. However, we are prepared to assist you in obtaining citizenship quickly. Best of all, you do not need to live here in Birmingham, AL, to hire us. Immigration laws are federal laws, and we can assist individuals from all over the nation and around the world in achieving naturalization.
According to Section 319(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), when a US military service member passes away due to combat wounds during a period of honorable service, their immediate family is eligible for citizenship.
Parents, spouses, and children may apply. Other close family, like siblings of a service member, do not qualify for this benefit.
No. While dependents of U.S. servicemembers may reside in the United States for various reasons, it is not always required. This is one of the unique benefits of military service.
For military spouses, time spent living with their spouse overseas during deployment may count as time spent in the U.S. for naturalization purposes. This detail can be essential when filing for citizenship. A Birmingham military survivor immigration attorney could help ensure these circumstances are properly documented and presented.
While surviving spouses do not always need to prove LPR, they should understand the notion. Some applicants need to prove their residence in the US is lawful and that they have been behaving well during their time in the US.
The first step toward naturalization for survivors is to download, read, and complete INA’s Form N-400. Follow the instructions carefully. This form must be filled out correctly, as even small errors can create frustrating complications. Working with a Birmingham military survivor immigration attorney could help reduce the risk of delays.
A simple mistake—such as a missing signature or incorrect date—can lead to lengthy processing times. For families with children nearing their 18th birthday, these delays can be especially stressful.
Children of military members who die from combat-related injuries may qualify for immediate citizenship, but only until age 18. Lawful Permanent Residence is not always required, and younger children may be exempt from demonstrating a period of good behavior before applying.
