Applying for Citizenship<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

Naturalization is the process which grants U.S. citizenship to a lawful permanent resident after meeting the eligibility requirements. Obtaining U.S citizenship through naturalization includes filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. To be eligible to apply for the citizenship, you must be at least 18 years old, have been a permanent resident for at least 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen) without leaving the United States for trips of 6 months or longer, physical presence in the U.S for a required period of time (at least half of the 5 year period or 3 year period), and continuous residence in the state you live in for at least 3 months prior to filing. Further, you will need to demonstrate \u201cgood moral character.\u201d <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

You can apply for naturalization 90 days before your permanent residence requirement (5 years or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen). Even if your green card is expired, and you have not renewed the card, you can still apply for naturalization. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
