U.S. citizenship application process
What happens after filing the U. S. Citizenship Application?
USCIS
will send an appointment letter for fingerprinting. The applicant will be requested to appear at the local Application Support Center at the date and time listed on the appointment letter.
USCIS
will run a background check on each applicant, based on the fingerprints. Once the background check has been completed,
USCIS
will notify the applicant about the date, time and place of the
citizenship interview
. At the interview, the applicant will be tested on his or her knowledge of the English language, as well as for basic knowledge of US history and government (Civics). If the applicant passes the
citizenship test
, he or she will receive a notification in the mail informing him or her to appear at a
Naturalization
Oath ceremony. At the ceremony, the applicant will take on
oath of allegiance
, receive a Certificate of
Naturalization
, and become a citizen of the U.S.
