First, immigration will be a big ticket issue in the upcoming election, and the outcome and future of U.S. immigration policy could ride on your vote.

Second, as the new president and his or her cabinet may have a different vision of immigration reform than that held by the current administration, it’s prudent to apply for immigration relief before the powers in charge change.
Third, in anticipation of the upcoming election, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has reduced the processing period for naturalization and other immigration applications to between approximately three to six (3-6) months.
Even if you are not eligible for naturalization, you may be able to apply for legal immigration status under various other laws currently in effect. But you must act now, as any of these laws could change based on the outcome of the November elections.
If you are interested in applying for naturalization, or have questions about the various visa, Green Card, and naturalization options, schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation with The Grady Firm’s attorneys; call +1 (949) 798-6298; or fill out a Contact Request Form.
