In order to do so, they will have to wait three years after obtaining a permanent resident status to become eligible to start the naturalization process. Once making the decision to become a naturalized citizen of the United States, you will have to go through an interview process
Once making the decision to become a naturalized citizen of the United States, you will have to go through an interview process with an immigration officer and you will also be required to take a language test and a civics test. Upon successfully going through the interviews and passing the required examinations, you will soon become a citizen. Citizenship brings a number of new rights and freedoms to those who obtain it.
Some of these new freedoms that those who obtain citizenship will be entitled to include the ability to vote for federal elections, the ability to run for federal office, participating in jury duty, and obtain a United States passport. There are a lot of different benefits that citizens have that are not available to permanent residents so if you are considering submitting an application for citizenship naturalization, you should do so as soon as you are eligible to. With the rapidly changing immigration laws in our country, it may be best to act quickly.
