How Do You Obtain Citizenship Through Naturalization?
It is only available to certain immigrants who have either been permanent residents (green card holders) for a minimum amount of time or have met specific military service requirements.
What Are the Requirements for Naturalization?
- How long you have physically resided in the U.S.
- How long you’ve held a legal permanent resident status
- Whether you are married to a U.S. citizen
- Whether you served in the U.S. military
- Age
- Knowledge of basic English language skills
- Knowledge of U.S. history and government
- Good moral character
The details of meeting the requirements vary based on individual circumstances and there are exceptions. With so many complicated aspects, it is wise to consult with a respected legal firm for advice.
What Are the Steps for Naturalization?
Overall, the process can take up to 18 months or sometimes longer, depending on how quickly U.S. Citizenship and Naturalization Services (USCIS) approves cases and processes paperwork, so it is important to keep in contact and update USCIS of any changes so that they can be taken into account.
