What do I need to become a U.S. Citizen?

Answer 1

psuche03 Answered it best. Everything they said in their answer is completely factual. I can corroborate their answer because I used to work in an Immigration office. And as for the rest of you who are talking trash to this girl, get over yourselves. I disagree with all of the illegal immigration going on too, but this girl is going about it the right way. She's asking for advice on how to become a U.S. citizen, not asking for the safest way to sneak across the border... I have respect for the people who want to come to our country to make a better life for themselves, or to escape oppression and abuse. I have NO respect, however, for trash talkers who have no idea what they're talking about. She speaks English just fine, which is more than I can say for a lot of the people who use this service. Stop being so retarded.

Answer 2

It depends on your situation. If you are married to a U.S. Citizen then you can apply after 2 years and 9 months of being a green card holder. If, however, you are not married then you can apply after 4 years and 9 months.
To apply you need to fill out the N-400 application and send it (with photos and a check attached) to a Service Center that is closest to your home.
A few good points to know:
1. You cannot have traveled abroad for more than 6 months at a time (unless you had an authorization from US government) while you are a green card holder.
2. Even though it is theoretically possible to wave fees for the naturalization application, it is NOT recommended.
3. If during the application process you move, you NEED to contact them and let them know about your change of address. Otherwise you risk rejection.
The following US immigration site has a lot more information. I recommend reading it thoroughly and downloading the Naturalization Guide. There you will not only be able to overview all the laws concerning naturalization, but also download the N-400 form, find out what kind of photos you will need, and also the address of the Service Center where you can send your application.
