Understanding the Timeline for Naturalization
Before you can even apply to become an American citizen through naturalization, you must have held a valid green card for at least five years. Only once this time has passed will your application be considered. The length of the actual naturalization process itself can vary. In most cases, it takes several months. Though, for a variety of different reasons, applications can be delayed for an extended period of time. By working with an attorney, you can be sure that your application will be processed as quickly as possible.
Naturalization: Eligibility Requirements
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) notes that there are several different standards that applicants must meet in order to become naturalized as a U.S. citizen. Beyond the five-year green card requirement, applicants for naturalization must also*:
- Actively live in the United States;
- Speak, read, and write in English;
- Understand basic U.S. civics and American history;
- Commit to supporting the U.S. Constitution; and
- Demonstrate good moral character.
The Process To Become Naturalized
Even if you meet all of the eligibility requirements* to become a naturalized U.S. citizen, the process can still be challenging to navigate. There are many different hurdles that you will need to clear in order to get citizenship. The first step in the process is to complete and submit Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. It is imperative that this application is completed properly, as even the smallest of mistakes can lead to long delays, and sometimes even outright denials. Beyond that, you must also:
- Give your fingerprints to USCIS;
- Undergo a criminal background check;
- Pass the mandated English and U.S. civics tests; and
- Complete an interview with a U.S. immigration official.
Once you complete every step of the naturalization process, you will be able to take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America, allowing you to become a full American citizen.
