U.S. Citizenship | Must Read Articles to Apply for Naturalization

Citizenship

Achieving US citizenship can often be a long and arduous process if you’re unfamiliar with the procedures. Fortunately, we’ve simplified the process to ensure the best possible outcome for your case in the most efficient time frame.

Criteria to Apply for Citizenship

As a green card holder, the next step is typically to apply for American citizenship by going through the naturalization process. In order to apply for naturalization, however, you must meet one of the following criteria:

  • Have U.S. permanent residency (Green Card) and been living in the county for at least five years. It’s important to note that you must renew your PERM card before applying for citizenship if it is going to expire within 6 months of applying or is already expired.
  • Been granted asylum and lived in the U.S. for four years.
  • Currently the spouse of an American citizen and lived in the county for a minimum of three years.
  • Have permanent resident status, served in the U.S. military and lived in the country for a minimum of three years.

Once one of the above circumstances is met, you must then demonstrate knowledge of American history and government as well as sufficient English reading and writing skills.

It’s best to always have an experienced immigration professional handle your case to avoid any filing mistakes or drawing red flags.

If you do not meet the requirements to go through the naturalization process, there are other options which we explore at length in articles throughout the site.
