Last updated on August 28, 2026
Becoming a U.S. citizen comes with various benefits, like voting rights and permanent security. If you are a green card holder, you may be eligible to start the naturalization process. We at Foster Law Office can leverage our extensive experience in immigration law to help you. Our team of immigration attorneys is prepared to explain the rules on applying for U.S. citizenship.
Determining Whether You Qualify For The Naturalization Process
Before applying, ensure you meet the core criteria:
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Speak, read and write basic English.
- Demonstrate good moral character.
- Maintain continuous physical presence in the U.S. as a permanent resident or green card holder.
- Establish residency for at least three months in Iowa or a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) district.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, we can review your case and provide thorough feedback.
What To Expect From The N-400 Process
Learning the steps involved in naturalization is essential for adequate preparation. We can help you further understand by mapping out what you must go through:
- Prepare and submit your Form N-400 to USCIS either online or by mail while ensuring to settle fees.
- Attend your biometrics appointment.
- Meet with a USCIS agent for your naturalization examination and interview.
- Wait for a decision from USCIS on your N-400 application.
- If approved, take the oath of allegiance.
While this summary of the naturalization process appears simple, you may encounter hurdles during your application.
