Common questions about Immigration in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
How long does naturalization take in Arizona?
Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization) typically takes 10-14 months from filing to oath ceremony at the USCIS Tucson Field Office or Phoenix offices. Applicants must generally have held a green card for 5 years (3 if married to a U.S. citizen), demonstrate continuous residence and physical presence, pass an English and civics test, and show good moral character.
Can I appeal a denied immigration application?
Yes, but the procedure depends on the type of decision. USCIS denials often allow appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on Form I-290B within 30 days. Immigration Court decisions can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) within 30 days. Federal court review (petition for review to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals) is available in many cases after BIA exhaustion.
What's the difference between a visa and a green card?
A visa is travel authorization issued by the Department of State permitting entry to the U.S. for a specific purpose (tourism, work, study, family). A green card (Form I-551) is evidence of lawful permanent residence issued by USCIS, allowing indefinite stay and work. Visas are usually temporary and tied to status; green cards reflect permanent immigration status.
