N-400 Naturalization Application:

• Use Form N-400 to apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization if you meet the eligibility requirements.
• After meeting residency and other criteria, applicants can file Form N-400 with USCIS and prepare for an interview.
• Pass English and Civics tests.

Eligibility Criteria for Naturalization:

• Permanent Residency: Applicants must have held a valid green card, or Permanent Resident Card, for at least five years (or three years if married to a U.S. citizen).
• Physical Presence: During the five-year period (or three years for spouses of U.S. citizens), applicants must have been physically present in the United States for at least half of the time.
• Continuous Residence: Applicants must maintain their primary residence in the United States without prolonged absences that could disrupt continuity (spend less than 6 months outside the U.S. each time you travel outside the U.S.)
• Good Moral Character: Demonstrating good moral character is essential, which may be impacted by criminal convictions, tax evasion, or fraudulent activities.
• English and Civics Knowledge: Applicants must pass an English and civics test, demonstrating their understanding of English language proficiency and U.S. government knowledge, unless exempted.

N-600 Application for Certificate of Citizenship:

• Form N-600 is used to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship, proving U.S. citizenship acquired at birth or through parents.
• Applies to individuals born outside the United States to U.S. citizen parents or those who automatically gained citizenship before turning 18.
