When I sent in my original application, I was quickly notified that they needed a better image of the birth certificates. I resubmitted it and in less than three weeks I received my Puerto Rican citizenship documents. It was quick and easy, excellent job!
Exceptional service with quick turnaround. Ramon helped me complete all requirements to certify PR citizenship and I highly recommend working with him.
