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.

One of my relatives just received her Green Card and the credit goes to Kevin Raica and his Paralegal, Aga Bogdanowicz. The final “Adjust Status Petition” including the supporting documentation was 128 pages long! There is no way we could have compiled this level of detail much less have it be error free on our own. The whole process took around 8 months which is to be expected; however, the Petition package was so complete that no interview was required. If you ever have need of immigration legal service you just can’t go wrong with Kevin Raica and the immigration…
