- Complete and submit Form N-400, Application for Naturalization
- Once form is approved, complete an immigration interview
- Pass background check
- Pass English and civics tests
- Take the Oath of Allegiance

Naturalization Applications Require the Help of Experienced Lawyers
There are many forms and documents involved in the naturalization process, the most important of them being Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. Form N-400 must be completed correctly and filed with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for approval. Along with your form, you may have to provide documentation, including: marriage licenses, green cards, birth certificates, tax returns, request for certification of military or naval service (if applicable), evidence of financial support, and more.
Failing to submit the proper forms or complete documentation incorrectly could ruin your chances of earning citizenship through naturalization.
