How soon can I become a United States Citizen?

Hurry up and waiting should not be a requirement to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. As part of the naturalization process, the LPR has her fingerprints taken. Within the year after applying, the LPR is called to an interview where she passes an English writing and reading exam and a civics exam. In addition, the LPR must succeed at what is known as a security clearance.

If approved, they can work temporarily (beginning on October 1st) for a maximum of six years or even longer if certain exceptions apply.
