What are the procedures for naturalization?

To become a naturalized citizen in Virginia, there are several procedures that must be followed. First, you must have previously obtained a green card. You can then apply for naturalization by filing an application (Form N-400) with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In addition to your application, you are required to submit supporting evidence such as proof of residence, evidence of good moral character, evidence of knowledge of U.S. civics, and documents related to your green card status. After submitting your application, USCIS will review your materials and determine whether or not you are eligible for naturalization. If you are found to be eligible, you will proceed to a naturalization interview and test. During the interview, a USCIS officer will ask you questions to determine your eligibility for naturalization. The test will measure your English language and civics knowledge. Once you have passed both the interview and the test, USCIS will schedule a swearing-in ceremony, where you will take an oath of allegiance to become a U.S. citizen. In some cases, you may be exempt from the naturalization process or eligible for expedited naturalization. Certain individuals may be exempt from the naturalization process due to military service or other special circumstances defined by U.S. immigration law. Additionally, certain individuals may be eligible for expedited naturalization if they meet certain criteria. If you have questions about the naturalization process or whether or not you may be eligible for naturalization, you should contact an immigration lawyer to discuss your specific situation.

Los procedimientos para la naturalización dependen del caso individual. Se recomienda que los solicitantes se familiaricen con el proceso de naturalización antes de comenzar el proceso de solicitud. Primero, una persona debe presentar un Formulario N-400 para Solicitud de Naturalización. Además, el solicitante debe presentar una copia certificada de un Documento de Identificación de Extranjero (Formulario I-94) y dos fotos tamaño pasaporte. Si el solicitante ha vivido fuera de los Estados Unidos por más de seis (6) meses, también debe presentar evidencia de que ha estado legalmente presente en esta área durante los últimos cinco años. Los solicitantes también deben pagar una tarifa de solicitud. Luego, tendrán que asistir a una entrevista con un oficial del Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración (USCIS). Durante esta entrevista, el oficial discutirá la solicitud con el solicitante. El solicitante también tendrá que aprobar un examen de inglés y un examen de civismo. Finalmente, el USCIS se pondrá en contacto con el solicitante para informarle si se le ha otorgado la naturalización. Si el USCIS aprueba la solicitud, es posible que el solicitante reciba una carta de naturalización. Una vez recibida la carta de naturalización, el solicitante es considerado un ciudadano de los Estados Unidos de América.
