What do you need for US Citizenship through Naturalization?

US Citizenship can be acquired by overseas citizens through a process called Naturalization. This is upon fulfilment of requirements outlined by the Congress in the INA - Immigration and Nationality Act.

Application for Naturalization Form N-400 must be filed by the overseas nationals to apply for Naturalization, as quoted by the USCIS Gov. The USCIS has outlined complete details of this process. It also offers educational materials for assisting with preparation for the Naturalization test including the Civics, US History, and English portions for:

• Naturalization Self Test
• Study for the Naturalization Test

Applicants who are in the military and inclined to become US citizens must visit the USCIS page Naturalization Through Military Service.

Overseas immigrants in the US can become eligible for Naturalization if:

• They have been Permanent Residents for minimum 5 years and fulfil other requirements for eligibility
• They have been Permanent Residents for 3 years or plus and fulfil all requirements for US Citizenship application as a US Citizen Spouse
• They have qualifying service in the armed forces of the US and fulfil other requirements for eligibility
• A Child may qualify for Naturalization if either of its parents is a US Citizen, it was born overseas and is currently residing overseas and fulfils other requirements for eligibility

It is also possible to qualify for Naturalization even if you are not eligible through the above-specified pathways. The details are outlined by the USCIS in the ‘Policy Manual Citizenship and Naturalization Guidance’ and ‘A Guide to Naturalization’.
