How Do You Apply For Citizenship (USA)?
• Make sure that you are eligible when applying for citizenship. You must be over 18 years of age and currently in possession of a Permanent Resident Card that you have had for at least 5 consecutive years. If you obtained a Green Card through marriage to a U.S. citizen, then you can apply for citizenship after only 3 years. Also note that during the filing process, you must reside in the U.S. until you are admitted to citizenship. Visit the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services at USCIS.gov for a detailed list of current eligibility requirements. • Download a citizenship application form (N-400) by visiting www.USCIS.gov and clicking “Forms.” Fill in the form completely, answering all the questions. If you miss anything, your application may be delayed or denied, and you will likely have to proceed with an appeal. • Take your passport photos within 30 days of filling out your application at a location that is familiar with the specific requirements.
