How long do you have to live in the U.S. to apply for citizenship?
i want to know how long i have to have lived here in the US before i can apply for US citizenship
Answer:
If you haven't figured it out in the last "5-7" years, then get the hell out.
After you get your green card, you can apply after 5 years
I think you have to apply for residency first and go through a 3-year unconditional waiting period (conditional residency takes a little longer.)
first you have to get your green card. Then you have to live in the US for 5 years
5 years after your greencard. After 3 if you're married to a citizen.
In general, applicants for naturalization must be permanent residents of the U.S. who have resided in the U.S. as greencard holders for a minimum of five years.
Those who are married to U.S. citizens or have served in the armed forces of the U.S. may, under certain conditions, qualify for naturalization after only three years of residency.
An applicant must be able to speak, read, write, and understand simple words and phrases in the English language. Some longtime, elderly permanent residents and applicants with certain disabilities are exempt from the English requirement.
Applicants are required to pass a short examination regarding the history and government of the U.S.
A person can apply for entry to lead to citizenship before coming to this country when they are entering the country legally.
Unless the laws change, you have to be a legal resident in order to apply for a citizenship. If you have legal residency then I sincerely hope you have an immigration attorney who can help you through that process!
The only way to get a legal residency (if you are here illegally) is to apply from Mexico. And that is a huge gamble.
