Citizenship/
Naturalization

Become a U.S. citizen through Naturalization

  • In order to qualify, an applicant must:

    1. Be at least 18 years of age at the time the application is filed

    2. Have been a lawful permanent resident for three years (if married to a U.S. citizen) or five years

    3. Meet the continuous residence and physical presence requirements

    4. Be able to read, write and speak English

    5. Demonstrate good moral character

    6. Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of U.S. government and history

    7. Demonstrate loyalty to the U.S. Constitution

    8. Be willing to take the Oath of Allegiance

Once you are a lawful permanent resident, you may be eligible to apply for U.S. naturalization to become a U.S. citizen. The N-400 application is submitted to USCIS.

Other ways to become a U.S. citizen - in some circumstances, people who are born outside of the United States are U.S. citizens without needing to go through the Naturalization process. We can help you determine if you or your family members meet the automatic citizenship requirements.
