How long does the citizenship immigration process take?

Louis M. Piscopo
Answered by attorney Louis M. Piscopo
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Louis M. Piscopo, APLC
I assume that the person is already a Legal Permanent Resident. If so, and they are married to a U.S. Citizen for three years they can apply 90 days before the 3 year anniversary of becoming a LPR. If they are not married to a U.S. Citizen they have to be a LPR for 5 years before they file. There are also special programs for current and former members of the U.S. military. Once a person files for Naturalization on Form N-400 it generally takes about 5-9 months in most parts of the country from the date you file until the date you are sworn in. While most people can do it themselves, if you have any issues (such as previous immigration violations, or arrests or convictions) you should seek the advise of an immigration attorney.

You should check to see if you are a U.S. citizen by law first. Under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, which became effective on February 27, 2001, you may have already became a U.S. citizen if you met the following requirements: (1) you had at least one parent who was a U.S. citizen; (2) you were under the age of 18 years old; (3) you were residing permanently in the U.S. in the legal and physical custody of your U.S. citizen parent; and (4) you were a lawful permanent resident.
