The idea of making an application for citizenship in the State of Nevada may be daunting. There are immigration forms you will have to fill out, interviews you will have to attend, and of course a lot of anxiety as you wait around for things to happen. However, even though applying for citizenship may seem like a huge hassle, the peace of mind that you will get from being a citizen is well worth any trouble you have to go through to get it. Not only does citizenship give you full rights and protections inside the United States, it also prevents you from ever being kicked out of the United States. At a time when many states are beginning to pass or consider much more restrictive immigration laws, applying for citizenship as soon as possible has never been a better idea.If you are concerned about having successful application on your first attempt, it is certainly in your best interests to hire a lawyer or to consult with a professional citizenship service. Immigration law is one of the most complicated types of law as it is, and then when you consider that you have state laws to deal with in addition to federal laws, you want to make sure that you have help from someone who knows what they're talking about. Not only can hiring an attorney help you get through the application process, it can also help relax you and give you peace of mind so that you can concentrate on more important things like getting ready for your interview.The citizenship interview process is something that most applicants dread, but really there is nothing to be worried about as long as you do all the proper preparation. It is important to remember that the United States has a long and rich history of welcoming its immigrants -  the point of the interview is not to give the interviewer the opportunity to kick you out of the United States, but rather to give you the opportunity to show just how serious you are about being citizen, and how much you respect the rights and responsibilities that come along with citizenship.You are probably already aware of some of the things you will have to do as part of the naturalization process. For one, you need to be able to demonstrate a good working knowledge of the English language, both written and spoken. Secondly, you will be given an exam to assess your knowledge of United States history and government. Thirdly, you will be interviewed about your legal status, how you have spent your time in the United States, and your personal background. If you meet all the other requirements (age requirements, residency requirements, and so forth), there is no reason you cannot have a successful application on your first try. Please note, however, that there is no shortcut through the naturalization process -  being married to an American citizen does not waive the residency requirement, but only reduces it to three years instead of five.
