Naturalization 
Process
Steps to Become a U.S. Citizen
Introduction
The naturalization process is the legal procedure through which 
a foreign citizen becomes a U.S. citizen. It involves meeting 
eligibility requirements, submitting an application, undergoing 
background checks, attending an interview, and taking the Oath 
of Allegiance. This presentation outlines the key stages and 
documentation needed for successful naturalization.
01
Overview of 
Naturalization
Definition and Eligibility 
Criteria
Naturalization is the process by which lawful permanent 
residents become U.S. citizens. To qualify, applicants must be 
at least 18 years old, have continuous residency for five years 
(or three if married to a U.S. citizen), demonstrate good moral 
character, and possess basic English and civics knowledge. 
Meeting these criteria is essential before applying.
Required Documentation
Applicants must submit Form N-400 and provide supporting documents such 
as a green card, passport-style photos, and evidence of residency and marital 
status. Additional documentation may include tax returns, travel records, and 
proof of selective service registration for males. Accurate and complete 
paperwork expedites the process.
Filing the Application (Form 
N-400)
The naturalization process begins with submitting Form N-400, the Application 
for Naturalization. Applicants must complete the form accurately and pay the 
required fee. Along with the form, supporting documents such as proof of 
residency and identification must be included. Proper filing initiates the 
citizenship process and schedules subsequent steps.
02
Naturalization Steps and 
Interview
Biometrics Appointment and 
Background Check
After filing, applicants receive a notice for a biometrics appointment. This 
involves fingerprinting and photographing to conduct a background check. The 
process ensures security and verifies applicant identity. It is a mandatory step 
before moving forward to the interview and test.
Naturalization Interview and 
Test
Applicants attend an interview with a USCIS officer, who 
reviews the application and asks questions about the 
applicant’s background. The interview includes an English 
language and civics test, assessing knowledge of U.S. 
history and government. Passing this step is crucial for 
citizenship approval.
Oath of Allegiance and 
Citizenship
The final step is the Oath of Allegiance ceremony, where applicants pledge 
loyalty to the United States. After taking the oath, they officially become U.S. 
citizens. This symbolic event marks the successful completion of the 
naturalization process and grants all associated rights and responsibilities.
Conclusions
The naturalization process is methodical, ensuring eligible 
individuals meet all legal requirements to become U.S. 
citizens. From filing Form N-400 to taking the Oath of 
Allegiance, each step is critical for a smooth transition. 
Understanding the process enhances preparedness and 
increases the likelihood of successful citizenship acquisition.
