Obtaining U.S. citizenship is a significant and exciting process for many immigrants in the United States.

The naturalization process involves the following steps:
The first step is to fill out Form N-400, which is the Application for Naturalization.
After filling out the form, you must submit it to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) along with the processing fee.
You will be asked to provide fingerprints as part of the background check process.
An interview will be scheduled to review your application and assess your knowledge of English and civics.
During the interview, you will be tested on your English skills and knowledge about U.S. history and government.
If approved, you will attend an oath ceremony where you will take the oath of allegiance to the nation and receive your Certificate of Naturalization.
