While there are certain conditions that apply and it may seem simple, the process of naturalization, however, is not quite as simple. The help of a citizenship attorney can make all the difference. Trust the immigration experts at the Florida Immigration Law Counsel to guide you through the naturalization process. The permanent resident must be married and living with their U.S. citizen spouse for the entire three years. If the permanent resident and the U.S. citizen spouse are divorced, separated or do not live in the same household, he/she waives their right to pursue naturalization through this method. You must also be together throughout the entire naturalization process.
If the couple were both permanent residents when they got married, but one more recently becomes a U.S. citizen, the permanent resident must wait three years from the time that the spouse became a U.S. citizen to file for their own citizenship.
Other requirements for naturalization include:
To apply for naturalization, the permanent resident must file a Form N-400 with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Your application should be accompanied by two photographs of yourself and any other pertinent documents. Then you must go to a USCIS office to be fingerprinted. You will then have to set an appointment to be interviewed and to take an English and civics test. Based on the interview and the tests, you will either be approved or denied citizenship.
