Apply For US Citizenship

Becoming a U.S. citizen through the naturalization process is the dream of many permanent residents and offers numerous benefits, such as the right to vote, access to a wider range of federal jobs, and the power to sponsor family members for immigration. However, the application process can be complex and confusing. FileRight is here to streamline this journey, providing comprehensive services to assist you in applying for U.S. citizenship.

While some individuals may think they can handle this step of their immigration journey from resident to citizen on their own, doing so comes with risks. USCIS doesn’t refund application fees, and, unfortunately, a simple mistake or omission of necessary information can result in delays, denials, and money lost. Don’t take this chance on something as important as becoming a U.S. citizen. Let FileRight ease your worries by simplifying the process.

Who Can Apply for U.S. Citizenship? Understanding the Eligibility Requirements

Becoming a U.S. naturalized citizen is an important moment that comes with more benefits than green card holders. As a naturalized U.S. citizen, you can vote in elections, travel easily with a U.S. passport, and help family members immigrate to the U.S. However, before you apply, it’s essential to know the eligibility rules set by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Understanding these requirements makes the process much easier and boosts your chances of getting approved.

To qualify for U.S. citizenship through naturalization, you must meet the following requirements:

Age Requirement: You must be a minimum of 18 years old when first filing Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization).
Permanent Resident Status: You need to have been a lawful permanent resident for at least five years (or three years when married to a U.S. citizen).
Continuous Residence: You must have lived within the United States continuously for the required period before applying.
Physical Presence: You must have been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the last five years (or 18 months out of the last three years if married to a U.S. citizen).
Good Moral Character: You must demonstrate what’s known as “good moral character,” meaning you haven’t committed certain crimes or violated immigration laws.
English Proficiency: You must be able to read, write, and speak basic English unless you qualify for an exemption based on age and time as a permanent resident.
U.S. Civics Knowledge: You must pass a test on U.S. history and government (civics) unless exempt due to age and residency length.
Oath of Allegiance: You must take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States, showing your commitment to the country’s laws and principles.

Meeting all of these requirements is the first step in applying for U.S. citizenship. If you’re unsure about your eligibility or have any questions about the process, FileRight is here to help. We provide clear answers to make sure your application is accurate and free from costly mistakes.

Filing Form N-600: Application for Certificate of Citizenship

Form N-600, Application for Certificate of Citizenship, is used by individuals who were born outside the United States to U.S. citizen parents and want to claim U.S. citizenship. It is also used by individuals who believe they acquired U.S. citizenship through their parents before they turned 18 but did not receive a Certificate of Citizenship.

This form helps you obtain official documentation proving your U.S. citizenship status if you qualify under certain conditions, such as:

Being born outside the U.S. to U.S. citizen parents.
Having parents who were U.S. citizens at the time of your birth or during your early years.
Having U.S. citizen parents who meet specific residency requirements.

This important document will serve as proof of your citizenship status. It’s needed when applying for a U.S. passport or confirming that you’re eligible for certain government benefits.

Filing Form N-400: Filing for U.S. Citizenship

Form N-400 is used to apply for U.S. citizenship through the process of naturalization. It is the official application for individuals who are permanent residents (green card holders) and meet the necessary eligibility requirements to become U.S. citizens. The form collects personal information and details about the applicant’s background, residency, and other factors required by USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) to determine eligibility for citizenship. Completing and submitting Form N-400 is the first step in the naturalization process.

FileRight can help you determine if you’re eligible for naturalization. If you are, you will be guided through the process of correctly and accurately completing USCIS Form N-400, ensuring that your application is error-free and has the best chance of being accepted on the first try.

Your certificate is lost or stolen.
The information on your certificate (like your name or date of birth) is incorrect.
You need to update your certificate after a legal name change.
You want to replace a damaged certificate.
