There are two primary ways to become a legal citizen of the United States. The first way is through your parents. Children of U.S. citizens are generally granted citizenship, as are the children of parents who become citizens before the children turn 18 years old. The other primary path to citizenship is a process called naturalization.

My wife and I knew little about this process and during the first call, Ana was able to share everything we were going to be doing and the approximate time that it would take. All the communication was excellent and her team was amazing as well. We are very happy with the process and service overall! Thanks Ana and Team!

From the initial meeting, Ana answered all the questions I had. Ana and her team was quick and responsive to any concerns I had. I would strongly recommend her to everyone who needs immigration help.

Where do I begin with how amazing Ana M. Mencini and her staff have been to our family? Ana helped guide my husband and I through the Green Card process and we would've been lost without her - and we began the process in 2020 during COVID-19. Ana and her staff were there for us every step of the way - Ana even went to Downtown Chicago with us for my Interview with the Immigration Officer. I have been working with her for a very long time and I would trust her to answer any of my questions, she is always on top of the ever changing world of immigration. Any challenges we faced during the Green Card

Ana Mencini and her team has been a blessing for my wife and I. She made the process super easy and followed up with us every step of the way. Ana was also kind enough to go with us to the immigration office downtown for my spouse's interview. There were some challenges working with US immigrations but Ana and her team was able to resolve it without any problems.
If you need any assistance with US immigrations, I highly recommend to seek assistance from Ana and her team!

Highly recommended! Ana is an incredible immigration attorney. She assisted myself and my partner through naturalization - from application all the way through the oath ceremonies. We vetted several immigration attorneys before checking out Ana (on a friend's recommendation), and hands-down Ana was/is superior to all others we have met and it was an easy decision to go with her. She is responsive, a good listener, very knowledgeable, and has a calm demeanor as she addressed my millions of questions. She replied to emails promptly, and updated us on our status as soon as she heard. And as a bonus

Ana Mencini is an excellent immigration attorney. She helped me first with my green card application, and second time with my naturalization application. Immigration process can be long and frustrating, but Ana Mencini was extremely helpful and informative. Both of my cases were process in a timely manner, without any delays. In both cases I was well informed and prepared because I followed her recommendation.

I used Ana for my entire immigration case and she handled it flawlessly from start to finish. In almost 4 years I have never had an issue with her including changing applications, attending interviews and preparing all of my applications. She is responsive, knowledgeable and puts you at ease throughout the whole process. I wholeheartedly recommend her to all.

My first visit to Miss Ana mencini, we drove an hour because she is 40 miles away from my place. We were on time and she was in a meeting, she attended us real quick, heard all of my concerns, read my case papers real quick, she kept asking if I had any more questions me and my partner asked but she didn't gave me any options not even a single one for my case that was disappointing, since the time I left her place I felt depressed, because she didn't even help us out in fact she left us hopeless, that isn't great on a part of Attorney.
