Becoming a U.S. Citizen

Naturalization is the process by which a lawful permanent resident becomes a U.S. citizen, generally after meeting residence, physical-presence, and good-moral-character requirements, and passing English and civics tests.

Certain histories — extended trips abroad, tax issues, or any record of arrests — deserve careful review before filing, because a naturalization application can surface problems that affect status.

This is general information, not an evaluation of your eligibility. Request a consultation for advice specific to you.
