What is Naturalization?
Naturalization is the legal process through which a foreign national becomes a U.S. citizen, and it is governed by federal immigration law and administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
While thousands of people successfully submit an application for naturalization each year, many face delays or denials due to incomplete forms, missing evidence, or misunderstandings about eligibility.
Having a dedicated naturalization immigration lawyer on your side can make all the difference.
Who Is Eligible for Naturalization?
The law sets out strict eligibility requirements to qualify for cancellation of removal, which differ depending on whether you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR) or a non-lawful permanent resident (non-LPR).
To qualify for U.S. citizenship through naturalization, applicants must meet specific legal requirements, including:
- You must have been a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) for at least five years, or three years if married to a U.S. citizen.
- You must show a history of good conduct, with no serious criminal convictions.
- Applicants must demonstrate English proficiency and a basic understanding of U.S. history and government.
- You must affirm loyalty to the United States and its constitutional principles.
