Naturalization

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is conferred upon a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by The U.S. Government.  The general requirements for administrative naturalization include:

  • a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States;
  • residence in a particular USCIS District prior to filing;
  • an ability to read, write, and speak English;
  • a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government;
  • good moral character;
  • attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and,
  • favorable disposition toward the United States.

It is important to note that several recent changes in immigration law and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services procedures now make it easier for U.S. military personnel to naturalize.  Please contact us to determine if these recent changes can help you.

Naturalization applicants must demonstrate good moral character, attachment, and favorable disposition. Some naturalization requirements may be modified or waived for certain applicants, such as spouses of U.S. citizens.  Working with a firm that is familiar with the application process is vital as the requirements and procedures change often.  We look forward to helping you become a Citizen of the United States of America.
