The N-400 application is the official form used by individuals seeking U.S. citizenship through naturalization. It gathers essential information about your background, residency, and eligibility for citizenship.
The timeline for naturalization can vary widely depending on several factors, including the applicant’s location and individual circumstances. Generally, it can take anywhere from six months to over a year from the time of application submission to the citizenship interview.
During the citizenship interview, an immigration officer will review your N-400 application and ask questions to assess your eligibility. You will also be tested on your English language skills and your knowledge of U.S. history and government.
Having a criminal record may affect your eligibility for naturalization, particularly if it raises concerns about your moral character. It is advisable to consult with an immigration attorney, like those at the Law Office of Matthew Peterson, to understand how your specific situation may impact your application.
If your N-400 application is denied, you can appeal the decision or reapply. The process can be complex, so it’s beneficial to seek legal advice from experienced professionals at the Law Office of Matthew Peterson to explore your options and improve your chances of success in future applications.
