You Have Built Your Life Here. Now Make It Official.

Becoming a U.S. citizen is one of the most significant milestones in an immigrant’s journey. At Greater Hope, we are honored to walk alongside you in this final — and most meaningful — step toward belonging fully to the country you call home.

What Is Naturalization?

Naturalization is the legal process through which a lawful permanent resident becomes a full U.S. citizen. Citizenship provides rights a green card alone does not — including the right to vote, a U.S. passport, full protection from deportation, and the ability to petition for more family members. The process involves an application, biometrics, an English and civics test, an interview, and the Oath of Allegiance. Greater Hope is here to make sure you do it right.

General Eligibility Requirements

Most applicants must have held permanent residence for at least five years — or three years if obtained through marriage to a U.S. citizen. You must also have been physically present in the U.S. for at least half that period, maintained continuous residence, demonstrated good moral character, and be able to pass a basic English and civics test. Factors like extended time abroad or prior criminal history can affect eligibility — which is why we review your full situation before recommending you file.
