NATURALIZATION
- Citizenship
To become a citizen of the United States an applicant
must take the following oath:
OATH
OF ALLEGIANCE
I hereby declare, on oath,
that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince,
potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have
heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will
support and defend the Constitution and laws of the
United States of America against all enemies, foreign
and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance
to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the
United States when required by the law; that I will
perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the
United States when required by the law; that I will
perform work of national importance under civilian
direction when required by the law; and that I take this
obligation freely without any mental reservation or
purpose of evasion; so help me God.
Any minor child automatically becomes a naturalized
citizen when the child’s parents become naturalized
citizens. Otherwise, in order to qualify for United
States citizenship an applicant must have one of the
following naturalization qualifications:
- The applicant must have been a lawful permanent
resident of the United States for five years;
or
The applicant must have been a lawfully present
in the United States as a permanent resident for
three years, married to a US citizen for the three
years of permanent residency, and continue to be
married to the U.S. citizen;
or
The applicant must have parents with United
States citizenship and be a lawful permanent
resident of the United States:
or
The applicant must have qualifying military
service. The filing fee to begin the Naturalization
process is $225. In most cases, applicants are
screened based on their reading, writing and English
speaking abilities. The naturalization process
includes a multiple choice exam regarding U.S.
History, Government structure and English language
skills. Questions may be asked similar to the
following: (1) How many branches of government are
there in the United States; (2) How many members are
there in the United States congress; (3) In what
year was the constitution of the United States
adopted. As you can see, the questions are detailed
and naturalization educational courses are highly
recommended.
