BECOME A U.S CITIZEN
Let us help you get started
Overview of citizenship process
Naturalization or the process of becoming a U.S. citizen takes anywhere from 5-8 months or longer depending on your situation. This is administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
We suggest you get help with this process from a qualified non-profit agency or immigration attorney, or by attending a free citizenship workshop. You can also complete the application yourself using CitizenshipWorks.
