Applying for US citizenship
An introduction to a licensed immigration attorney for your Form N-400 naturalization application.
Most green card holders can apply for US citizenship after five years as a permanent resident, or three years if married to a US citizen.
Becoming a US citizen also changes your position in India: you give up Indian citizenship and usually move to an OCI card. It is worth planning both sides together.
What this covers
- Checking that you meet the residence and physical presence rules.
- Preparing and filing Form N-400.
- Long trips abroad and how they affect your application.
- What changes in India once you naturalize.
