Obtain an application for US citizenship (N-400) and question book either from your nearest INS application center or from www.USCitizenship.info fill it out. Have you money ready $400 (most probably, find it in the application). Send it to the address mention on the application. wait for their respons by email and keep reading the book for your future interview.Upon receiving your application you will be required to submit your fingerprints for FBI investigation. Then you will receive letter telling you where to appear for your Interview. Be prepared and do the interview...and then u will know what to do...the entire process takes about 12 to 15 month. :D

Being in the U.S. for 5 years does not automatically qualify you for U.S. citizenship. There is a test of residency that you need to pass. Yes, the required residency is 5 years but out of this five years you must have lived in the U.S. for the first 30-months of it, meaning, you have not been out of the U.S. in those first 30-months. If you pass this test and you are still in the U.S. then you cna apply for U.S. citizenship. You need to pay a processing fee of $330 and you will be taking a naturalization exam at your nearest consul office.
It is advisable that you check the immigration website for answers to all of the questions you have with regards to immigration and naturalization issues. There may be other issues that you want to verify - the website is full of information.

US Citizenship - the two you're born right here or you grow to be a Naturalized Citizen. everlasting Residency - you have a green card (surely that's blue) entitles you to artwork right here and stay right here completely.
