U.S. citizenship gives a person as many rights as the U.S. has to offer; for example, the right to vote,
petition for family members to immigrate, and live abroad without losing the right to return. For these
reasons, citizenship is not easily obtained.
To become a U.S. citizen through the process known as naturalization, you must first have a green
card (permanent residence) and then meet other requirements, listed below. There are only a few
rare exceptions in which a person goes straight from having no U.S. status to getting U.S. citizenship;
some are discussed in Nolo's article U.S. Citizenship by Birth or Through Parents.
The Application Process
You'll need to complete a citizenship application on USCIS Form N-400 and send it in with a copy of
your green card, the required photos, and the appropriate fee. After filing your application, you will
probably wait for many months, depending on your local USCIS office. Then you will be called in for
a fingerprint appointment, and later an interview appointment.
