To become a US citizen, you must first fulfill certain requirements established by the US government. These might include but are not limited to having lawful permanent residence status in the US, demonstrating good moral character, and being able to demonstrate knowledge of the US government and history. 2 Next, you must file an application for naturalization with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), paying the required fee and submitting proof of your eligibility.3 Upon receipt of your application and other documents, USCIS may schedule an interview and an English language test.4 If your application is approved, you will be invited to attend a naturalization ceremony or Oath of Allegiance, where you will make a formal pledge of loyalty to the US.5 You will then receive a Certificate of Naturalization, proving your US citizenship status.
