What Do I Need To Do To Apply For U.S. Citizenship?

After you have held a green card (lawful permanent resident status) for five years or more, you usually will qualify to apply for United States citizenship through the naturalization process. If you are married to a U.S. citizen, you might be eligible after only three years. You must also meet other criteria, including a requirement that you have resided continuously in the U.S. for five years – or three years if you are married to a U.S. citizen. You’ll also need to demonstrate good moral character and basic skill in the English language and U.S. history, as well as knowledge of how the U.S. government works. If you are successful, you will have most of the same rights that natural-born U.S. citizens enjoy. If you want to enjoy all the rights of U.S. citizenship, Jude Law LLC can help. If you think you’re eligible, start your naturalization process today.


The naturalization process is the path to obtain U.S. citizenship for individuals who were not born as citizens of the country. This process involves meeting certain criteria and going through a series of steps in order to become a fully recognized citizen with all the rights and privileges that come with it.


There are various ways to become eligible for naturalization, but one common way is through marriage to a U.S. citizen. If you are married to a U.S. citizen, you may be able to apply for naturalization after just three years of continuous residence in the country. This shorter time frame is due to your marriage status and shows that you have a strong connection and commitment to the United States.

What Will Happen at My Interview?

You’ll need to bring your green card and state ID or driver’s license to the interview to confirm your identity. At the interview, a USCIS officer will review all the answers you provided on your N-400 form. As they go through the information, they will ask you to confirm whether the information is still true. If any of the information has changed, you’ll need to declare those changes and provide proof of those changes if needed. Then, the officer will ask you a series of questions, much like they did at your green card interview. The officer will ask you to read a sentence in English and write a sentence they dictate. Finally, you’ll take a 10-question test on U.S. civics and history. Answer six of them correctly, and you will pass the test. It might sound scary, but with the proper preparation, it should be fairly easy. Attorney Tamika Jude can help you prepare for everything you’ll face during the interview, so you can relax and enjoy the process.


Once you have submitted your naturalization application, the next step is to attend an interview with a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officer. This interview is a crucial part of the naturalization process, as it allows the USCIS officer to confirm whether the information provided in your application is still accurate. If any changes have occurred since submitting your application, such as a change in marital status or address, it is important to declare these changes during the interview. Additionally, if any of the information on your application has changed, you will need to provide proof of those changes during the interview.


Similar to your green card interview, the USCIS officer will ask you a series of questions during this interview. These questions are designed to assess your knowledge of the English language, as well as your understanding of U.S. history and government. It is important to prepare for this interview by studying these topics beforehand.


During the interview, you will also be asked questions about your background and your application. This may include questions about any criminal history or previous immigration violations. It is crucial to answer these questions honestly and accurately. In addition to asking questions, the USCIS officer will also review all of the documents you submitted with your naturalization application. This includes your passport, green card, and any other supporting documents such as marriage certificates or birth certificates.


If everything is in order and there are no issues with your application or background, the USCIS officer may approve your naturalization on the spot. However, there are cases where the officer may request additional documentation or schedule a follow-up interview. In some cases, you may be asked to provide more evidence of your residency or proof of good moral character.


If your application is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision within 30 days. It is recommended to seek legal assistance if this happens as it can be a complex and lengthy process. However, if your appeal is also denied, you may have to wait a certain period of time before reapplying for naturalization.
