Find the problem before the officer does.
The course teaches the test. These two services are for your own case: a private video call with immigration attorney Stephen M. NeSmith, Jr. to look for anything that could cause a denial, or a line-by-line review of your completed N-400 packet before you file.
Legal services are provided by NeSmith & NeSmith, P.C., Montgomery, Alabama. Naturalization is federal law, so these video consultations are available to applicants anywhere in the United States, after a conflict check.
Red-Flag Review Call
A private, one-on-one video call with Stephen M. NeSmith, Jr., an immigration attorney, about your situation. Before the call you complete a short questionnaire; on the call he walks through the issues that most often cause denials and tells you plainly what he sees.
- Your trips outside the United States and whether you meet the continuous-residence and physical-presence rules
- Good moral character — tax filings, child support, arrests or citations, prior applications
- Selective Service, marital history, and the three-year rule for spouses of citizens
- Whether you appear eligible now, should wait, or need full representation — based on what you tell us
- A short written summary of what was discussed and what to do next
About 30 minutes. English or Spanish. If you purchase the $497 packet review after your $197 call, your call payment counts toward the total — you pay the remaining $300.

You complete the N-400 and gather your documents. Stephen reviews your completed form and the supporting documents you provide — every answer, every date, every attachment — and sends you written notes on what to fix before you file.
- Line-by-line review of your completed Form N-400
- Check of the supporting documents you provide against what USCIS expects
- Written notes: errors, inconsistencies, missing items, and issues that may need further legal review
- A follow-up video call to go over the notes together
- Includes a Red-Flag Review of the eligibility issues above
Turnaround is typically within one week of receiving your complete packet. English or Spanish.

Request, sign and pay
Tell us which service you want through the contact form. We run a quick conflict check, then send you a short intake questionnaire, a written engagement agreement to sign electronically, and a time for your call.
Send your information
For the call, answer the questionnaire honestly — the call is only useful if we know the facts. For the packet review, upload your completed N-400 and documents through the secure link we send you after the agreement is signed.
Get clear answers
You leave with a plain-language picture of where you stand based on what you have told us, a written summary, and a recommendation: file, wait, fix these things first, or get full representation.
What these services are — and are not
They are
- Legal services provided by NeSmith & NeSmith, P.C. under a written engagement agreement
- Limited to the review described in your written agreement — the attorney handles only the services listed there
- Confidential. The attorney handles your information under his professional duties of confidentiality, and communications seeking legal advice may be protected by the attorney–client privilege, subject to legal exceptions
They are not
- Preparation or filing of your N-400 for you (the packet review tells you what to fix; you make the changes)
- Representation at your USCIS interview or in any proceeding
- A guarantee of approval — no attorney can promise an outcome
- A substitute for full representation if your case has serious issues; if it does, we will tell you so
Who provides these services. Legal services described on this site are provided by NeSmith & NeSmith, P.C., through Stephen M. NeSmith, Jr., an attorney licensed in Alabama, with an office in Montgomery, Alabama, under a separate written engagement agreement. CitizenshipPASS LLC provides the educational course.
When representation begins. Visiting this website, enrolling in the course, filling out a form or sending an email does not, by itself, hire the attorney. Our process requires a written engagement agreement signed by you and the attorney before legal work begins. Please wait to send details about your immigration history until we have completed a conflict check and sent you a secure way to submit them.
