What steps need to be taken in order to become a citizen of the US?
Answer:
If you are a Green Card holder, you can apply for Naturalization 90 days before the 5th year anniversary of becoming a Permanent Resident (90 days befoe the 3rd year annivery if you are married to a US citizen). You must have good moral character and you could not have spent more than 6 months out of the country within the 3 year immediately before submitting your application.
Currently, it takes between 9-12 months before you will actual take your Oath of Citizenship, during which time you will be interviewed and tested on your knowledge of the English language and US history and civics.
If you are considering becoming a citizen, I would recommend that you submit your application before April 1, 2007. It currently costs about $400.00 for the Naturalization application. However, USCIS is trying to increase the applcation fee to $675.
Why would an immigrate want to be a US citzen . you would have to pay for insurance, pay taxes . But it you want to be a US citzen first call bank of america and get a credit card to pay for the cost .And you may not have to pay it back.
