US Citizenship: Eligibility

Thinking about becoming a U.S. citizen? Here's a roadmap to naturalization eligibility:

  • Green Card Time: Hold your green card for the required period (usually 5 years, with exceptions).

  • Be Present: Spend enough physical time in the U.S. (generally half the required residency period).

  • Continuous Residence: Don't have extended absences that disrupt your residency status.

  • Good Moral Character: Maintain a clean record and fulfill legal obligations.

  • Language & Civics: Pass basic English and U.S. history/government tests (exceptions apply).

  • Support the Constitution: Be committed to U.S. principles and laws.

Ready to Apply? Once eligible, file Form N-400 with USCIS and prepare for the interview.
