Am I Eligible to Apply for U.S. Citizenship?
Key naturalization eligibility themes and how to choose the right civics test practice set.
Updated
Common requirements (overview)
Typical requirements include a period as a lawful permanent resident, continuous residence and physical presence, good moral character, attachment to the Constitution, and the ability to demonstrate English and civics knowledge — with important exceptions for age and long-term residency.
English and civics exceptions
Some applicants qualify for English exemptions (for example 50/20 or 55/15 rules) or the 65/20 special civics consideration (20 starred questions; 10 asked; need 6; civics may be in your language of choice). Confirm current policy for your situation.
Choosing your practice set
