Steps to Achieve U.S. Citizenship: A Comprehensive Guide

Becoming a U.S. citizen is a proud moment for many immigrants. It’s a goal that provides voting rights, access to benefits, and permanent security—but it requires understanding every step in the immigration procedure.

Applicants typically must be green card holders for five years (or three if married to a U.S. citizen), pass a civics and English test, and meet moral character requirements. The process is handled through USCIS and involves Form N-400, biometrics, and an interview.

Checklist to Prepare:

  • Confirm eligibility and residency
  • File Form N-400 with supporting documents
  • Attend biometrics and interview
  • Take the civics and English tests
  • Complete the Oath of Allegiance
