Eligibility for Naturalization
If you weren’t born in the United States or you’re not the child of a United States citizen, you’ll be required to go through the naturalization process to become a United States citizen. The general rules are that you’ll be required to:
- Reside in the United States for five years and remain physically present in the United States for at least 30 months of that time, or
- Be married to a U.S. Citizen and reside in the United States for at least three years
- Be a person of good moral character
- Be literate in the English language and have qualifying knowledge of United States history
The children of United States citizens aren’t required to complete the naturalization process. You can even be eligible to apply for naturalization if you have appropriate service in the United States armed forces

Issues That Can Arise During the Process
Certain obstacles can get in the way during the complex naturalization process. There might be residency issues, questions involving actual physical presence or even arrests and criminal convictions. Even a minor brush with the law can create a major criminal history issue. Part of our job is to identify any issues that might interfere with becoming a citizen before you apply for naturalization and then decide on the best way of possibly resolving them.
