Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About the N-400 Citizenship Application Process
Q: What is Naturalization?
A: Naturalization is the process by which a lawful permanent resident (i.e., green card holder) becomes a U.S. citizen. Becoming a U.S. citizen grants numerous benefits, including the right to vote, ability to obtain a U.S. passport, and eligibility for certain government jobs and benefits.
Q: Who is Eligible to Apply for Naturalization?
A: To qualify for naturalization, applicants must generally meet the following criteria:
- Permanent Residency: Must have been a lawful permanent resident (LPR) for at least five years (or three years if married to a U.S. citizen and filing under the spouse-based category).
- Physical Presence: Must have been physically present in the U.S. for at least half of the required residency period (i.e., 30 months for a five-year applicant, 18 months for a three-year applicant).
- Continuous Residence: Must have continuously resided in the U.S. during the required residency period without prolonged absences that disrupt residency.
- Good Moral Character: Must demonstrate good moral character for the required statutory period, including no serious criminal history.
- English Language Proficiency: Must demonstrate basic ability to read, write, and speak English (some exemptions apply based on age and length of residency).
- Civics Knowledge: Must pass a civics test on U.S. history and government (exemptions and accommodations may apply for elderly or disabled applicants).
