N-400

Home/Tag: 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.
