The citizenship process is relatively simple that anyone can undertake independent of an attorney. Though, It is not always hassle free. As long as you pass all the eligibility requirements, submitted all necessary documents, and completed your application forms accurately, you are in good shape. The USCIS Guide to Naturalization which you will find in the website is a must read document . But for an overview, you need to file a completed Form N-400, get photographed, fingerprinted, interviewed by USCIS, then finally oath-taking. If you are a military personnel, there is a recent change in immigration law that makes it easier for you to be naturalized. Due to a surge of naturalization applicants it may take you a year before you take the oath, but of course it also depends on your locality. Make yourself always available for fingerprinting appoinment, as well as for the interview. Rescheduling is not always a good idea. If everything went well at the interview, they will give you a place and time where you will attend the oath-taking ceremony.

No you dont need a lawyer, geting one will be like giving money to someone who dont need it, you need one if you want to become a "resident of US" but since you are a resident all you have to do is to visit the web site of USA imigration and naturalisation service or visit your local inmigration office where you live, definitly you will be ask to pay a fee and fill out some forms and you have to acomplish some rules to be eligeble to have the citizenship, like i think depending where you came frome you most be living in USA as a legal resident for at least 5 to 10 years but dont get scare it may be diferent for you and all that you can find it at the inmigration office in your area and make shure is realu a USA Inmigration office because there is a lot of people who just want your money, so take care Ok.

yes, you need a lawyer AND an employer who is willing to sponsor you, unless you have family in the US. Either way, you need a immigration lawyer first because it is a complicated process.

you go to your country's embassy and apply for naturalization....they take pictures and tell you to wait until the US notifies you...wait a 1+ years and you'll get the notice, you go take a written take and an interview and you're done
you denounce loyalty to your former country and swear allegiance to the US...that's it, don't need a lawyer
