• A currently serving member of the U.S. armed forces or a former service member who separated from service within 6 months of applying for naturalization;
• A former service member who served in an active-duty status in the U.S. armed forces or as a member of the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve during a designated period of

You must have had 1 year of uninterrupted physical presence before you filed Form N-470.
Note: If you are employed in a religious vocation, with an approved Form N-470, your time outside the U.S. counts as time in the United States. You must have 1 year of
uninterrupted physical presence in the United States before you file Form N-400.

Naturalization Testing and Exceptions

Good Moral Character
Good Moral Character (GMC) means character that measures up to the standards of average citizens of the community in which the applicant resides. In general, an applicant must
show that he or she has been and continue to be a person of GMC during the required period (for example, 5 years if you are applying based on 5 years as a lawful permanent
resident or 3 years if you are applying as the spouse of a U.S. citizen) prior to filing and up to the time of the Oath of Allegiance.
Naturalization Testing and Exceptions
Almost all applicants for naturalization must take a naturalization test to demonstrate that they are able to read, write, speak, and understand English, and that they have a basic
knowledge of civics (U.S. history and government). You do not have to take the English reading, writing, speaking and understanding test, and you can take the civics test in a
language of your choice if at the time you file your application:
• You are 50 years of age or older and have been a lawful permanent resident for at least 20 years; or
• You are age 55 years of age or older and have been a lawful permanent resident for at least 15 years.

First Link:
www.uscis.gov/citizenship

Second link:
www.uscis.gov/N-648

If you are 65 years of age or older and have been a lawful permanent resident for at least 20 years, you may take a simplified version of the civics test. Learn more about the civics
test here.
You may be eligible for an exception to the English language test or civics test or both if you have a physical or developmental disability or mental impairment that has lasted, or is
expected to last, 12 months or more. If you are requesting a medical exception to the English language and civics tests, answer “Yes” to the question in the Requests for
Accommodations page in the About You section. You will also need to submit a completed Form N-648, Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions, with your Form N-400. You
can find and download Form N-648 here.
Note: If you need an interpreter and you qualify for an exception to the English part of the test, you must bring an interpreter to the interview.
Legal Guardian, Surrogate, or Designated Representative
If you cannot undergo any part of the naturalization process because of a physical or developmental disability or mental impairment, you may have a legal guardian, a surrogate, or
an eligible designated representative complete the naturalization process for you.

Eligibility

Oath of Allegiance
If USCIS approves your application, you must take the Oath of Allegiance to become a U.S. citizen. In limited cases, you may take a modified Oath.

Oath of Allegiance
Modification to the Oath
You may request a modification to portions of the Oath requiring you to bear arms on behalf of the United States or perform noncombatant service in the U.S. armed forces if you
have a religious or conscientious objection to those portions. You may not request a modification to the portion of the Oath requiring you to perform work of national importance
under civilian direction. You may provide, but we do not require, an attestation from an organization, a witness statement, or any other evidence to support your objection to bear
arms or perform noncombatant service.
Affirmation
You may request to substitute the words “solemnly affirm” for the words “on oath” and omit “so help me God.” You may request this affirmation instead of an Oath for any reason
without documentation.
Oath Waiver
You may receive a waiver of the Oath of Allegiance if you are unable to understand or to communicate an understanding of the meaning of the Oath because of a physical or
developmental disability or mental impairment.

Early Filing

Early Filing
If you are applying based on lawful permanent residence for 5 years, you may generally file your application up to 90 days before meeting the required 5-year period of continuous
residence as a lawful permanent resident. If you are applying based on your marriage to a U.S. citizen, you may generally file up to 90 days before meeting the required 3-year
period of continuous residence as a lawful permanent resident.

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscisearly-filing-calculator

However, applicants filing up to 90 days before meeting the continuous residence requirement must still meet all other requirements for naturalization at the time of filing Form N400. If these requirements are not met at the 90-day period, the applicant must wait to file until the requirement is met, otherwise, the application will be rejected or denied. For
example:
• If you are applying under Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 319(a) as the spouse of a U.S. citizen, you must have been married to a U.S. citizen for at least 3 years at
the time you file Form N-400; or
• If you request an exception to the English testing requirements, you must meet the requirements for the exception (age and years as a lawful permanent resident) when you file
Form N-400.
Use the USCIS Early Filing Calculator to ensure that you file your Form N-400 no earlier than 90 days before you complete the required period.

Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, is an application to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. Naturalization is the process you take to voluntarily become a U.S. citizen if you
were born outside of the United States.
You will need to select your basis for eligibility after you start your application. There is more information about specific eligibility requirements following these general eligibility
requirements.
In general, you may apply for naturalization when you meet all the requirements to become a U.S. citizen. The following general eligibility requirements apply to most naturalization
applicants:
• You are at least 18 years of age when you file;
• You have been a lawful permanent resident of the United States for at least 5 years;
• You have demonstrated continuous residence in the United States for at least 5 years;
• You have lived in the U.S. state or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) district where you claim residence for at least 3 months before filing;

answer questions about your activity since the interview, take the Oath of Allegiance, and get your Certificate of Naturalization.
