The Naturalization Process
The Naturalization process may have many steps but taken one at a time
it can turn out to be a simple process. The package you send to
immigration consists of information regarding your background. In your
application package you will include:
•
The N-400 form (application for
Naturalization)
•
A copy of your alien
registration card.
•
Two 2"X2" color photographs
•
You are also required to take
your fingerprints; the INS will send you an appointment
after they receive your application.
INS will then send you an interview date. At this interview you should
be able to answer questions about your application in English, and
answer the U.S. history and government questions in English. The
interviewer will dictate a sentence to you, which you need to be able
to understand and write in English. If you pass the interview, you
will be scheduled for a hearing where a naturalization judge will ask
you to take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States.
