Naturalization Application Process

The naturalization process is how a foreign citizen becomes a citizen of a country, typically through a formal application. First, applicants must meet eligibility criteria, like residency and language requirements. They then complete Form N-400 and submit it with documentation and fees. After that, they'll attend a biometrics appointment to provide fingerprints. Next, an interview assesses their knowledge of the country’s history, government, and their application. If approved, applicants take an oath of allegiance to finalize their citizenship. This process ensures that new citizens understand and commit to their rights and responsibilities.
