How to Qualify For Naturalization

In order to be eligible to become a U.S. citizen, applicants must be at least 18 years of age. They must also be a lawful permanent resident of the United States, usually meaning that they must currently have a green card. Additionally, applicants are often required to have lived in the United States for at least five years.

What Is the Naturalization Process?

The naturalization process involves the following steps:

• Application: The application, Form N-400, must be completed and submitted to the appropriate Service Center. The application must include two photographs of yourself along with necessary documents.
• Fingerprinting: The fingerprinting will be completed at a location specified by the USCIS.
• Interview and exam: During the interview, you will be asked questions pertaining to your application and background. The exam will test your knowledge of English and civics.
• Oath of allegiance: If your application is accepted, you will be required to take an oath of allegiance.
