Naturalization is the process whereby United States citizenship is conferred on a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The general requirements for administrative naturalization include:
- A period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States
- Residence in a particular state prior to filing
- An ability to read, write, and speak English
- A knowledge and understanding of United States history and government
- Good moral character
- Attachment to the principles set forth in the United States Constitution
- Favorable disposition toward the United States
All naturalization applicants must demonstrate good moral character and a favorable disposition toward the United States. The other naturalization requirements may be modified or waived for certain applicants, such as spouses of United States citizens and persons with mental or physical disabilities.
