Nuestros abogados de inmigración hablan español.
Step 1: Application for Naturalization
The first step to becoming a U.S. Citizen if you are in the Oceanside, California area is to come to the Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP Office and file an Application for Naturalization (Form N-400). We will help you fill out the form and ensure that everything is correctly entered to ensure your application processes quickly.
Step 2: Biometrics Appointment
We will help you set up your biometrics appointment where you will go to the USCIS Field Office to provide your fingerprints for a background check just as you would do with the family-based green card process, The fingerprinting appointment usually takes place about a month fo your U.S. citizenship application.
Step 3: Citizenship Interview & Exam
Your Citizenship Interview will be 12-14 months after your application is filed where the USCIS Officer will verify your Naturalization Application information is correct. Your interview will be conducted at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate Office. The Exam will be an English Language Written/Spoken Test and a Civics Test. We help you and provide the study materials.
Step 4: Oath of Allegiance
When your application is approved, you will attend an Oath of Allegiance ceremony and take the Oath of Allegiance to become a U.S. Citizen. We help ensure you receive the Ceremony Notice in the mail, so you know the Date, Time, and Location of the Ceremony. When you are done with this step, you will receive a Certificate and be a U. S. Naturalized Citizen.

"Going through a very stressful time Michael Fischer really helped me through it all. He helped me fight my case and took a lot of weight off my shoulders in order to get full custody of my son. He reported back to me all the updates with my case and ended up winning my case!

"Never Lost Sight of the Goal"
"Going through my custody battle was very emotionally trying. I was lucky to have chosen Fischer & Van Thiel to help me protect the most valuable asset of my life...my children. At the initial interview, I was informed that the children and their safety were a primary concern of the firm. While I like this, I was concerned when they said you had to trust your attorney because their wee time when they may have to give you advice that is not what you want to hear. As we progressed through the process I came to understand what they were referring to as there were many times when it became apparent that they knew the law and how the judge would respond. They were very good at telling me, even before the hearing, how the ruling was going to go and what to expect. I am thankful for the help I received and would encourage others in need of help to talk to these attorneys.."

Divorce & Child Support Legal Services
"Terrific Divorce & Child Support Lawyer!"
"I dealt with a man for over 2 years who was only concerned with breaking me and reducing support payments for his children. Mr. Fischer helped me to stop his constant harassment and to find income that he had attempted to hide which actually increased the support due to me each month."
- David Sebastian, San Marcos, CA

"Thank You for Everything!"
"I wanted to take a moment and thank Mike Fischer my divorce attorney for all that he did for me. He made a very difficult time much easier. We ended up using divorce mediation instead of going at each other in court and we are happy we did! It was much more civil and our focus was on our children. Thank you for everything you have done and I would highly recommend you to anyone who is considering divorce."

"Just a Great Attorney"
"My wife and I started our divorce over two years ago, and I was at a standstill with my wife, as my attorney at the time, had No Plan. I had to make a decision to hire a new attorney and decided on Mike Fischer. He came highly recommended and was able to expedite things farther than my first attorney in less than 2 months. I couldn't be happier with Mikes's Legal Services!"
