Becoming a U.S. citizen through naturalization is one of the most rewarding milestones for immigrants. It not only secures your permanent place in the United States but also provides valuable rights, such as voting, access to federal benefits, and the ability to sponsor family members for immigration.
To qualify, most applicants must be lawful permanent residents for at least five years (or three years if married to a U.S. citizen). Additional requirements include continuous residence, physical presence in the U.S., good moral character, and passing an English language and civics test. USCIS carefully evaluates every application, and even small errors can result in costly delays.
The naturalization process begins with filing an application for naturalization , along with the necessary supporting documents and fees. Applicants are then scheduled for biometrics and later attend an interview with a USCIS officer, who reviews the application and conducts the civics and language test. If successful, the applicant takes the Oath of Allegiance, officially becoming a U.S. citizen.
