What Do I Need To Do To Apply For U.S. Citizenship?
After holding lawful permanent resident status, commonly known as a green card, for a duration of five years, many individuals find themselves eligible to embark on the journey toward obtaining United States citizenship through the naturalization process. This pathway to citizenship not only grants individuals the rights and privileges of being a U.S. citizen but also allows them to fully participate in the democratic process. If you happen to be married to a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible to apply after just three years, so long as you meet certain specific requirements associated with this expedited route.
In addition to fulfilling the necessary period of permanent residency, applicants must generally provide evidence of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States, showcase good moral character, and successfully complete tests that cover essential English language skills and fundamental knowledge of U.S. civics. These criteria are purposefully established to ensure that those seeking citizenship possess a solid understanding of the rights and responsibilities inherent in U.S. citizenship, as well as an appreciation for the nation’s values and history.

What Will Happen at My Interview?
For your naturalization interview, you will generally need to bring your green card along with a state-issued ID or driver’s license to confirm your identity. During the interview, a USCIS officer will review the information you provided on your Form N-400 and ask you to confirm that it is accurate and up to date. If anything has changed since you filed your application, you will be asked to explain those changes and provide documentation when required.
The officer will also test your English reading and writing abilities and administer a civics test covering U.S. history and government.
