citizenship application
A citizenship application, consisting of form N-400 and required documents, must be filed in order to start the US naturalization process. Prior to filing the citizenship application, however, the green card holder should ensure that he or she meets all of the requirements for naturalization. Failure to meet the naturalization requirements will result in the citizenship application being denied and, possibly, revocation of the green card. Contact a naturalization attorney to determine if you meet the citizenship requirements, prior to filing your citizenship application.
