Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is
conferred upon a permanent resident or green card holder.
If you need assistance in the naturalization process contact
us. We can help you through the naturalization process to
become a U.S. citizen as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
The requirements for naturalization are as follows:
- A period of continuous residence in the United States
- The ability to read, write, and speak English
- A knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government
- Good moral character
- Adherence to the principles of the U.S. Constitution
- A favorable disposition toward the United States
In addition to naturalization, a person may be entitled
to citizenship:
- By being born in United States
- By having citizenship transmitted to them by a parent
(called "acquired citizenship")
- Through the naturalization of their parent (called derivative
citizenship)
Recent changes in immigration law and U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration (CIS) process now make it easier for people serving
in the U.S. military to become citizens.
Once you become a U.S. citizen, you can live and work permanently
in the United States, vote in U.S. elections, serve on juries,
and hold a U.S. passport. As a U.S. citizen, you can also
sponsor your spouse, unmarried children under age 21, and
parents as immediate relatives.
