N-400

The N-400 (Application for Naturalization) is the USCIS application form that must be submitted when applying for citizenship through the naturalization process. Along with the N-400, applicants are required to submit documentation and evidence. The N-400, documentation, evidence and filing fee together constitute a citizenship application package. Given that filing an N-400 may subject certain deportable immigrants to deportation proceedings, it is recommended that all citizenship applicants hire a citizenship lawyer to help prepare the N-400 and citizenship application package. The citizenship lawyer can help identify any deportation dangers and can determine whether the applicant has met all of the citizenship requirements. For help with the N-400 citizenship application, schedule your free consultation with a citizenship lawyer today by calling 800-989-6842.

Is it dangerous to wait to apply for citizenship?

It always amazes me when I hear stories about US lawful permanent resident green card holders who were eligible to become US citizens, but never did.
