Understanding the Naturalization Process
The naturalization process generally involves several important steps, from reviewing eligibility through taking the Oath of Allegiance.
Start With a ConsultationEligibility Review
Before filing, we review your immigration history, permanent resident status, residence, travel history, and other relevant circumstances to determine whether you may qualify.
Application Preparation
Eligible applicants generally file Form N-400. We assist with preparing the application and organizing supporting information and documentation.
USCIS Processing
After filing, USCIS processes the application and may request biometrics or additional information depending on the applicant’s circumstances.
Citizenship Interview & Testing
Applicants generally attend a USCIS naturalization interview that may include review of Form N-400, an English test, and a civics test unless an exemption or exception applies.
Oath of Allegiance
If the application is approved, the applicant attends a naturalization ceremony and becomes a U.S. citizen through the naturalization process upon taking the oath.
Each naturalization case is different. Eligibility and required evidence depend on your immigration history and individual circumstances.
Naturalization Eligibility
For many permanent residents applying under the general naturalization requirements, eligibility includes being at least 18 years old and having been a lawful permanent resident for at least five years.
Applicants generally must also meet continuous residence and physical presence requirements, demonstrate good moral character, and satisfy applicable English and civics requirements.
Certain applicants may qualify under different rules, including some lawful permanent residents married to U.S. citizens who may qualify under the three-year rule. Exceptions and modifications may also apply in certain circumstances.
Because eligibility can depend on your individual circumstances, it is important to review your immigration and travel history before submitting an application.

Ask Our TeamImportant: Every citizenship matter depends on its individual facts. A consultation can help you understand which options may apply.
How long does the naturalization process take?
Processing times vary based on USCIS workload, the applicant’s circumstances, and the field office handling the case. There is no single timeline that applies to every applicant.
Can I apply for citizenship after three years?
Some lawful permanent residents married to and living in marital union with a U.S. citizen may qualify under the three-year naturalization rule rather than the general five-year requirement. Other eligibility requirements still apply.
What happens during the citizenship interview?
A USCIS officer generally reviews your naturalization application and background. Depending on your circumstances, you may also complete English and civics testing unless you qualify for an applicable exemption or exception.
What if I have traveled outside the United States?
International travel can affect the continuous residence and physical presence requirements for naturalization. Extended absences should be carefully reviewed before filing.
Can a criminal record affect my citizenship application?
Certain criminal history and immigration issues may affect naturalization eligibility. If you have a criminal record or other concerns, it is advisable to seek legal guidance before submitting your application.
Can I get U.S. citizenship through my parents?
In certain circumstances, a person may acquire or derive U.S. citizenship through a parent. Eligibility depends on factors such as the parent’s citizenship, the applicant’s age, residence, and other applicable requirements.
