N-400: US Citizenship Application:

  • Lawful Permanent residents (Green Card holders) whose Green Card has been valid during the 5 years prior can file for US citizenship.  US Citizenship Application Form N-400 is used for obtaining US citizenship (naturalization).  You can follow through the US immigration process to attain citizenship. For example, if you are married to a US citizen, you may apply for US citizenship after 3 years with a valid Green Card. There are exceptions. If an applicant has served in the United States Armed Forces during war, that individual may obtain citizenship without first becoming a permanent resident if he or she was in the United States upon enlistment into the US military. A completed Form N-400 (US Citizenship Application) is the required form; it must be filed along with photos and supporting documents. Becoming a US citizen has many advantages.  We recommend filing for US Citizenship as soon as you are eligible.

    Requirements:

    You May Qualify for Naturalization if:

    • You have been a permanent resident for at least 5 years and meet all other eligibility requirements.
    • You have been a permanent resident for 3 years or more and meet all eligibility requirements to file as a spouse of a U.S. citizen.
    • You have qualifying service in the U.S. armed forces and meet all other eligibility requirements.
    • Your child may qualify for naturalization if you are a U.S. citizen, the child was born outside the U.S., the child is currently residing outside the U.S., and all other eligibility requirements are met.
    • You may qualify through other paths to naturalization if you do not qualify through the paths described above.
