How to get an Naturalization Approval?
What does applying for naturalization mean?
The citizenship process is the legal procedure through which a non-citizen becomes a citizen of a country. In the United States, this process is called naturalization.
At RelisLaw, we guide you through every step of the naturalization process to make it easier and more accurate!
Dr. Tamara Relis and our team stand out in naturalization cases because of our personalized, compassionate approach and deep immigration experience. We truly understand your journey because Dr. Relis personally experienced the naturalization process herself!
- 1. Who qualifies?: You must be a permanent resident for 3–5 years, demonstrate good moral character, continuous residency, pass English and civics tests, and meet other requirements showing attachment to the Constitution.
- 2. Gather Supporting Documents: green card, passport or ID, marriage certificate (if applying based on marriage), tax returns, proof of residence, and any other relevant evidence.
- 3. Prepare the N-400 form: File Form N-400 with all supporting evidence, Application for Naturalization, and send it U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
- 4. Biometrics Appointment: You attend an appointment to provide fingerprints, photos, and a signature.
- 5. Interview and Test: You have an interview with a USCIS officer, who will test your English skills and knowledge of U.S. civics (history and government).
- 6. Receive your Citizenship: Attend a naturalization ceremony where you take the Oath of Allegiance, officially becoming a U.S. citizen.
I heard the Citizenship Test changed recently—what is the "2026 Standard"?
As of October 2025, USCIS implemented a revamped Naturalization Civics Test. If you filed your N-400 on or after that date, the test is now more rigorous: the question bank has expanded to 128 questions, and you must now answer 12 out of 20 questions correctly to pass (previously 6 out of 10).
Can I apply for citizenship if I have a "tax debt" or owe back taxes?
Yes, but you must have a formal payment plan. USCIS considers tax compliance a primary indicator of “Good Moral Character.” If you owe money to the IRS, your application will likely be denied unless you provide a signed installment agreement and proof that you are making consistent, on-time payments.
What is the "90-day Early Filing Rule" and how do I calculate it?
You do not have to wait until your 3rd or 5th anniversary as a Green Card holder to file. You can submit your N-400 exactly 90 days before you meet the continuous residence requirement.
