Naturalization is an important process and one mistake could result in significant delays or even a denial. In order to be eligible for the U.S. Citizenship Naturalization visa, an applicant must meet certain criteria. This includes being at least 18 years old, being a permanent resident of the United States for at least five years, being able to read, write, and speak basic English, having a basic knowledge of American government and history, abiding by all laws and regulations of the United States, and demonstrating good moral character. Once these requirements are met, an applicant can then apply for their citizenship naturalization visa.

F.A.Q.

Have a question? Check these answers.

USCIS processing times may change due to a range of circumstances, with processing timeframes typically ranging from 9 months after an application is filed. Variations in estimates can be impacted by pandemics, weather conditions and laws subject to regular amendment – all factors that contribute towards potential delays or accelerated procedures.

Yes, you will receive a notification for your biometrics appointment, which includes the time and place of fingerprinting. This location is likely to be where you’ll have your interview as well as attend your citizenship ceremony.

Changing your name can be a complicated process, but it is possible if you follow the guidelines of your respective state. Most commonly, proof such as marriage certificates or court orders are needed to demonstrate that the legal change has been made. However, even without this documentation at hand there’s another way: A judge may preside over an Oath of Allegiance for Naturalization Ceremony and effectuate a name change in the process which will appear on official documents like Certificates of Naturalization post-procedure. Keep in mind though that following these alternate steps might cause delays during application processing timeframes.

If born stateside, most likely yes! However, if you were not – there is still hope; provided your parents are citizens and able to demonstrate one parent resided in the United States at some point before your birth. To be considered for citizenship it requires evidence that proves this as well as documentation of residence time showing no less than five years prior to birth with two after their 14th birthday and record of foreign-birth certified by an American embassy or consulate also helps establish valid proof.

If you feel your application for U.S. citizenship was unfairly denied, you have the right to request a hearing with an immigration officer by referring to the letter sent accompanying the denial explaining what is required and details on form N-336. Additionally, if rejection occurred due to failure of English or civics test portions—don’t despair! You can take these examinations as often as needed upon feeling prepared before making another attempt at obtaining citizenship status in America.

Don’t worry – you can still pursue citizenship. However, traveling abroad or applying for a job may create difficulties. So don’t delay any longer and make sure to renew your card before its expiration date!
