Step 1 - Determine Your Eligibility

Almost without exception, you must be a permanent lawful resident of the United States and possess a valid green card in order to begin the naturalization process.

2. Overcome Ineligibility if Applicable

If you have committed minor violations to your Visa status, we will gather the necessary information to rebuff these charges and put you back on the path to eligibility.

3. File Uscis Form N-400

Once steps 1 and 2 are complete, you'll need to file Form N-400 properly with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration.

4. Fingerprints

You'll need to be fingerprinted and have the FBI run a criminal background check.

5. Attend the Oath Ceremony

Even though your application for citizenship may have been approved, you are not a citizen until you take the Oath of Citizenship, and only then will be given a Certificate of Naturalization.
