Naturalization and Citizenship

To be eligible for Naturalization, an individual must meet the following requirements:

• Must be 18 years old;
• Must have permanent residence status (Green Card) for five years prior to application. If married to a U.S. Citizen, the permanent residency requirement is three years;
• Must have lived for at least three months within the state the petition was filed;
• Must be physically present in the U.S. for at least one-half of the five years (one half of the three years for spouse of a Citizen);
• Must have resided uninterrupted within the U.S. from the date the application was filed up to the time of admission to citizenship;
• Must not be absent for a period of more than one year during the period that residence is required (five or three years);
• Must be a person of good moral character.

Application Procedure

Once the application is submitted, the applicant will be scheduled for a fingerprinting appointment. Applicants can file up to three months before he or she meets the residency requirements.

All applicants for Citizenship will be interviewed by Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The applicant may request one re-examination. An Attorney may accompany the applicant to his or her Naturalization interview.
