citizenship process

The citizenship process is used by hundreds of thousands of green card holders each year in order to become American citizens. The citizenship process begins when a qualified applicant files the N-400 citizenship application, required documents and filing fee. After initial processing of the N-400 is complete, and the applicant has been fingerprinted, the citizenship process continues on to the citizenship interview and citizenship tests. The final state of the citizenship process includes the citizenship ceremony, citizenship oath and issuance of the certificate of citizenship.
