I MEET THE CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENTS. WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
You would submit an Application for Naturalization (INS Form N-400) with a $95 application fee, photos and a fingerprint card. You may submit your application 3 months before you meet the residency requirement. The INS sends the fingerprint card to the FBI which conducts a background check to determine whether you have committed a crime which might disqualify you from citizenship. You will be then interviewed by an INS officer. If you are approved for citizenship by the INS, you would then take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America.
