U.S. Citizenship
Becoming a U.S. citizen is an achievement that opens the door to a world of internationally sought-after employment and mobility opportunities. For many, arriving at this stage comes after years of hard work, resilience, and dedication.
The path to citizenship in the United States is the last step after permanent residency (green card). By meeting specific eligibility requirements and completing the naturalization process, you’ll secure the ability to fully participate in civic life, including voting, holding public office, and accessing expanded employment opportunities.
The Naturalization Process
The naturalization process begins with filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, which involves a detailed review of your eligibility, background, and residency history. You’ll also provide biometric information, such as fingerprints, for security screening.
After submitting your application, you’ll attend a naturalization interview where an immigration officer will review your case, ask questions about your background, and administer the English and civics test.
At last, successful applicants will then attend a citizenship ceremony to take the Oath of Allegiance.
Eligibility for U.S. Citizenship
To qualify for naturalization, you must complete the following requirements:
Lawful Permanent Residency
You must have held a green card for at least five years (or three years if married to a U.S. citizen).
Physical Presence and Continuous Residency
Applicants must demonstrate continuous residence in the U.S. for at least five years and physical presence for at least 30 months during that period. Absences of more than six months may disrupt eligibility.
Good Moral Character
This is assessed based on your conduct, including criminal history and adherence to tax obligations.
English and Civics Knowledge
You will need to pass a test demonstrating proficiency in English and an understanding of U.S. history and government.
Oath of Allegiance
Citizenship requires a commitment to uphold the U.S. Constitution and faithfully perform your duties as a U.S. citizen.
Special considerations apply to certain applicants, including active-duty military members and those married to U.S. citizens.
