U.S. CITIZENSHIP & NATURALIZATION

Once you have obtained a green card or permanent residency, your next step will be to apply for U.S. citizenship through the process of naturalization. One of the many benefits of becoming a citizen is that you will be able to sponsor family members in their own immigration petitions with the immediate relative visa.

The most common forms for paths to Citizenship and Naturalization are the:

N-400 Application for Naturalization

Some of the eligibility requirements to file for Naturalization:

 

  • A green card holder must be at least 18 years of age and must have been a permanent resident for a minimum of 5 years, or 3 years if the applicant is married to a U.S. citizen.
  • The applicant must have been physically present in the U.S. for half of the 5 year period, or at least 30 months.
  • The applicant must pass a test of their ability to read, write and speak English, as well as an examination of their knowledge of U.S. history and government.
  • The applicant must have lived for at least 3 months in the jurisdiction where the application is being filed.

 

N-600 Application for Certificate of Citizenship

Children under the age of 18 automatically obtain citizenship when their parents are naturalized, so long as the child meets certain residency requirements.
