The Citizenship and Naturalization Process


Gaining citizenship and naturalization can be a difficult process for immigrants seeking to become full citizens of the United States. The process of naturalization to become a full citizen is one that often takes months or even years to complete. The first step to becoming a citizen is to fill out a citizenship application. After filling out your application with the appropriate information, you will be required to submit other forms of identification, such as your passport photo. 
The next step is taking a test to determine whether or not you can read and write and speak English, the native tongue of the U.S. The government provides plenty of study materials to help you study and prepare for this test. You can also seek counsel and guidance for this test from an immigration lawyer. After you complete this process you will become a full citizen of the United States, which will open many doors of opportunity for you.
