Requirements to apply for citizenship

• In most cases, you must have five years in ‘permanent resident’ status before you can become a U.S. citizen. If you are married to a U.S. citizen, however, the requirement may be as little as three years.
• You must show that you have a physical presence in the U.S., continuity of residence, and have good moral character.
• You must be able to pass an exam covering topics related to the U.S. government, history, and civics.
• You must be able to speak, write, and read English.

The exact requirements for naturalization, citizenship, or permanent resident status may vary depending on your age, marital status, and other factors.
