How do I become a naturalized citizen in the United States?

The first step to becoming a naturalized citizen is determining eligibility for citizenship. In general, individuals can be eligible for citizenship if they are at least 18 years old, have been a permanent resident for at least 5 years (or at least 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), and meet all other eligibility requirements. If you are eligible, filing an application for naturalization should be the next step. By enlisting in the help of Houston immigration attorney Jennifer A. Lopez, you can make sure that your application is filled out correctly and processed. Once your application is accepted, you must go through the final stages of successfully completing an interview, passing a history and English language test, and taking the Oath of Allegiance to the United States.
