What is the Timeline for Naturalization?

If you have been a green card holder for at least five years, then sufficient time has passed to allow you to apply for citizenship through naturalization. Once you do start the application process, the timeline can vary considerably. On average, it takes somewhere between five and six months to complete the process. Though, in some cases, the process can take far longer.

What are the Basic Eligibility Requirements?

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires applicants to meet several different eligibility standards before they can apply for American citizenship. Notably, this includes:

  • Current U.S. residence;
  • At least five years as a green card holder;
  • English language proficiency;
  • A working knowledge of American civics and history;
  • Commitment to the U.S. Constitution; and
  • Demonstration of good moral character.

What is the Process for Naturalization?

The U.S. naturalization process can be confusing and overwhelming. There are many different steps that you will need to complete. If you meet all eligibility requirements, then your case will start with the Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. This is your official application form, and it must be completed without any mistakes or material omissions. Even a minor error could lead to a substantial delay. As you get further into the naturalization process, you will be required to do all of the following things:

  • Give your fingerprints to U.S. immigration agents;
  • Submit to a comprehensive criminal background check;
  • Pass the required civics, history, and language tests; and
  • Go to an official interview with an American immigration official.

If you are able to successfully complete all of those steps, then you will reach the final step of the process: Taking an Oath of Allegiance to the United States and obtaining your American citizenship.

He not only speed up my case to months of waiting from years or waiting but also I didn’t need to fly anywhere to get my visa… I am forever thankful to him…

I would like to highly recommend this law firm. My case was handled by Attorney -BRITTNI RIVERA, for me Attorney BRITTNI RIVERA is a SUPERSTAR, when it comes to immigration law.

Several other lawyers whom I consulted during my case with -KRIEZELMAN&BURTON LAW FIRM, told me that my chances…

I highly recommend Matthew from Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC to get solutions to all immigration related issues. I recommend him, after my five years of association with him. Before meeting Matthew, I had approached three senior immigration lawyers, to resolve my VISA conversion issue (from L2 to F1). All 3 lawyers could not provide any solution to my problem.

Within a month, my VISA issue was resolved. Next, I…
