What is the Naturalization Process?
The Naturalization Process is the process of applying for U.S. citizenship through Immigration Law in South Carolina. In order to become a U.S. citizen, the individual must first meet the eligibility requirements. These include being 18 or older, having a green card, having lived in the United States for at least 5 years, and not having any serious criminal charges. The application process begins by filling out an Application for Naturalization (Form N-400), which requires biographic information about the applicant along with answers to several questions about their background, their eligibility, and their ability to speak English. Proof of eligibility will also need to be included, such as proof of continuous residence in the United States. Once the application has been submitted, the applicant will then have to attend an in-person interview with an Immigration Officer and pass a naturalization test that covers U.S. history, politics, and civil rights. After passing the naturalization test, the individual will be required to take a loyalty oath to the United States at a naturalization ceremony. They will then be issued a Certificate of Naturalization, which serves as proof of their U.S. citizenship. After the naturalization ceremony, the individual will be able to enjoy the rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship, such as the right to vote, the right to travel, and the right to apply for certain jobs.

Está disponible para aquellos que han demostrado su lealtad a los Estados Unidos. Se requiere un período de residencia de al menos cinco años (o tres años si el cónyuge es un ciudadano estadounidense) para solicitar la naturalización. Una vez que se haya cumplido el período de residencia, el solicitante tendrá que someter una solicitud de ciudadanía para empezar el proceso de naturalización. Una vez que la solicitud de ciudadanía ha sido aceptada, el solicitante tendrá que pasar una entrevista en la que será evaluado en temas como su conocimiento de la historia y la gobernanza de los Estados Unidos. La entrevista también evaluará el conocimiento del inglés del solicitante. El solicitante también debe demostrar que es moralmente apto para la ciudadanía. Si el solicitante es aceptado, se le otorgará una carta de naturalización. Esta carta marcará el principio de su ciudadanía estadounidense. El solicitante también tendrá que tomar una prueba de juramento de lealtad, en la que los nuevos ciudadanos prometen ser leales a los Estados Unidos. Una vez que se haya tomado el juramento, el solicitante recibirá oficialmente la ciudadanía de los Estados Unidos.
