Becoming a U.S. citizen is a significant milestone for many immigrants, representing not only the opportunity for a better life but also the chance to fully participate in American society. However, the journey to citizenship can be complex and filled with challenges. At Rusulaw, we specialize in helping individuals navigate the naturalization process smoothly and effectively.
Understanding the Naturalization Process
Naturalization is the process through which a foreign national becomes a U.S. citizenship. To be eligible, applicants must meet several requirements established by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). These include:
Permanent Residency: You must have been a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) for at least five years, or three years if married to a U.S. citizen.
Continuous Residence: You must have maintained continuous residence in the U.S. during your permanent residency.
Good Moral Character: Applicants must demonstrate good moral character during the required residency period.
English Language Proficiency: You must be able to read, write, and speak basic English.
Civics Knowledge: Applicants must have a basic understanding of U.S. history and government.
The Naturalization Application Process
The naturalization process typically involves several steps:
- Filing the N-400 Application
The first step in the naturalization process is to complete and submit Form N-400, the Application for Naturalization. This form requires detailed personal information, including your immigration history, employment history, and family background.
