You may apply for naturalization if:
1. You have been a lawful permanent resident for five years.
2. You have been a lawful permanent resident for three years, have been married to a US citizen for those three years, and continue to be married to that U.S. citizen.;
3. You are a lawful permanent resident child of United States citizen parents: or
4. You have qualifying military service.
Children under 18 may automatically become citizens when their parents naturalize. You may inquire at your local Immigration and Naturalization Service Center for further information.
Step 1: Go to Do-it-Yourself Citizenship Application, Test and Interview Products.
Step 2: Submit a complete and accurate application form with all the necessary attachments and requirements. You must ensure that the application is submitted to the correct Immigration Office.
Step 3: Prepare for the multiple choice examination which will include questions about US History, Government Structure and English Proficiency.
Step 4: Prepare for the Citizenship Interview with an Immigration Officer.
Step 5: Await Immigration approval and date for the naturalization ceremony.
Once your application is approved, you will be required to take the following Oath of Allegiance to the United States in order to become a U.S. citizen.
Step 5: Find out if you are an eligible candidate for retaining your current citizenship and obtaining dual citizenship.

First, are you legal?
If you are, and you have been a permanent resident alien for 5 years (general rule), you can apply for NATURALIZATION (INS form I-400).
DO NOT do this on your own. Find an experienced attorney in immigration law. Depending on your SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES the whole process will cost you between $1500-$5000........plus immigration fees. Also, this can be a lengthy process

Sure, my friend. Here is the website to go to:
http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/citizenship_application.html.
Here, you can order yourself one citizenship kit with the proper info and application. All you need is a credit card with $67.50 for one kit or get the second kit for $30.00. (if you have a friend/relative) Then simply fill out the information asked of you and send in the application.

Go down to the nearest Immigration and Naturlization office, and they will give you a booklet with all the info. You will also have to go to school to lear things like the English language, U.S.history,etc., before you can pass the test to become a U.S. citizen.
