Naturalization Eligibility

In order to be eligible for naturalization, green card holders must meet certain requirements.

Eligible applicants must:

• Be at least 18 years old.
• Be a green card holder.
• Have lived in the U.S. with a green card for at least five years.
• Have been physically present in the country for at least 30 months within the last five years.
• Have good moral character.
• Be able to read, write, speak, and understand English.
• Pass a test on U.S. government and history.
• Take the oath of allegiance.

If you meet all these naturalization requirements, we encourage you to begin the journey to citizenship as soon as possible.

What is the Advantage of Citizenship?

Though green card holders have many of the same rights as U.S. citizens, those rights fall short in certain areas. Obtaining citizenship means that you are viewed the same as any other natural-born U.S. citizen under the law.

Benefits of U.S Citizenship

U.S. citizenship means that:

• You have the right to vote in local, state, and national elections.
• You can acquire a US passport and not be subject to the 6 month per year residency requirement of lawful permanent residents.
• You may benefit from faster visa availability of residency petitions for certain family members.
• You will be eligible to work government jobs.
• You are no longer subject to removal or deportation proceedings.
