Meeting the Requirements to Apply for American Citizenship
There are two ways to become an American citizen: you must either be born of a parent who is U.S. citizen, or you must go through the naturalization process. To be eligible to go through naturalization, there are many different requirements that you must meet, including:
- Minimum residency requirements;
- English language requirements;
- Knowledge of U.S. history and civics;
- Belief in the American Constitution; and
- Demonstration of good moral character;
Understanding the Complex Naturalization Process
There are many different steps involved in the naturalization process. To get through the process with your U.S. citizenship, it is imperative that you work with an attorney. To start, you will need to complete and submit Form N-400, which is the official application for naturalization. Any mistakes on this form could cause you major problems later on in the process. As the process continues, you will be required to:
- Give your fingerprints;
- Undergo a criminal background check;
- Attend a USCIS interview;
- Pass American civics and English language tests; and
- Take an Oath of Allegiance to the United States.

Our experience with the firm was extraordinary. We worked with attorney Andrea Ochoa. Since the very first meeting we met, Andrea gave us all the confidence to proceed with our case.
