Understanding the Timeline for Naturalization

After you have obtained a green card, you cannot apply for naturalization until you have been in the United States for at least five years. When you begin the application process itself, it takes, on average, six months to complete. Though, that is a very rough estimate. The timeline can vary considerably, and it could take far longer in any individual case. Working with an attorney can help you avoid mistakes that lead to long delays.

U.S. Citizenship Eligibility Requirements

To apply for American citizenship through naturalization, you must submit Form N-400, Application for Naturalization to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This form cannot be submitted unless you meet all of the basic eligibility requirements for naturalization that have been set forth by the federal government. Notably, these eligibility requirements include the following:

  • You must live in the United States;
  • You must have obtained your green card more than five years ago;
  • You must have acceptable English language proficiency;
  • You must possess basic knowledge of civics and history;
  • You must be willing to commit to the U.S. Constitution; and
  • You must be able to prove that you have shown good moral character.

Tips for the Naturalization Interview

One of the most important parts of the naturalization process is your interview with USCIS officials. To ensure that your application moves forward smoothly, it is critically important that you are properly prepared for your interview. Before attending the naturalization interview, please consider the following three helpful tips:

  1. Do not go into your interview unprepared. It is best to review your application file and civics information to refresh your memory on all relevant issues.
  2. Arrive to the meeting on time. If you miss your appointment, you will be forced to reschedule and your application will be significantly delayed.
  3. Please be sure that all answers that you provide are completely consistent with all documentation that you have offered to immigration officials.

Great work from Brittni Rivera, extremely professional. I highly recommend to go with them especially for U visa cases.

Both Jake, who has since relocated, and Lauren (current) are a saving grace to those who they’ve helped. Lauren, who I am working with currently, cannot be more attentive, understanding, and humble in the work and reassurance she gives you. She never makes you feel like you are any less due to your circumstance, she speaks to you more humanely and with compassion more than even a friend or family may. If you’re in the market for an attorney that cares, does her best to accommodate your circumstance and limitations while working your case, I can not recommend enough Lauren.…

Simply put, I shouldn't be here. I had a really complex immigration case and all the firms that we consulted with told us that I virtually had no chance of staying here in the United States for my son. All except Kriezelman Burton.
