The Naturalization Process

The naturalization process begins with filing for an application for naturalization. An individual must be a lawful permanent resident for at least 5 years before filing for naturalization.

At this time, the applicant will be required to take the naturalization test. The test is designed to assess the applicant's understanding of the fundamentals of the U.S. civics and English languages. Those who pass the test will be scheduled for an interview with the USCIS officer. The applicant will be asked a number of questions about their application, background, and eligibility. The applicant will also be asked to take an oath of allegiance to the United States.

Once the applicant has passed the test and completed the interview, the USCIS will review the application. If all of the requirements are met, the applicant will be scheduled to take the Oath of Allegiance. Once the applicant has taken the Oath of Allegiance, they will be a U.S. citizen and can begin the process of applying for a U.S. passport.
