How it works

A clear path, start to finish.

The same five-step method, applied to your case.

  1. Check the timing and the requirements

    We go through your age, how long you have held the green card, continuous residence, physical presence, where you live, and good moral character — and work out the earliest date you can file.

  2. Review your history honestly

    Arrests, unpaid taxes, missed child support, long trips abroad and Selective Service registration all come up on the form. We look at them before USCIS does, and gather the records that explain them.

  3. Form N-400

    Prepare and file the application

    We complete the application with you, online or on paper, and file it with the evidence USCIS asks for. Filing also extends your green card while the case is pending.

  4. Biometrics, interview and tests

    You give fingerprints, then attend an interview where an officer goes through your application and gives you the English and civics tests. We practice both with you.

  5. The oath ceremony

    You become a citizen when you take the Oath of Allegiance at a public ceremony. After that you can apply for a U.S. passport and register to vote.

Fixed fee

What your fixed fee covers.

One fee, agreed in writing before we begin. Nothing hidden.

Included

In your fee

  • Checking your eligibility and your earliest filing date
  • Reviewing your travel, tax and any arrest history before you file
  • Preparing and filing Form N-400
  • Requesting a disability exception or an appointment accommodation, if you need one
  • Interview preparation, including practice with the civics questions

  • Court or police records, where the agency charges for copies
  • Translation of documents that are not in English
  • A separate criminal-defense or tax attorney, if your history calls for one

Government and court fees are set by the agency, not by us, and change from time to time. Current USCIS amounts are published at uscis.gov/fees.

Come prepared

What to bring to your consultation.

Bring what you have. If something's missing, we'll tell you how to get it.
  • Both sides of your green card
  • A list of every trip outside the U.S. since you became a permanent resident, with dates
  • Your marriage certificate and proof your spouse is a citizen, if you are filing on the three-year basis
  • Tax returns or transcripts, and proof of any child support you pay
  • Court records for any arrest or charge, anywhere in the world, even if the case was dropped

Questions

Frequently asked.

Five years as a permanent resident is the usual rule. Three years applies if you have been living in marriage with the same U.S.-citizen spouse for those three years. Either way, you may file up to 90 days before you complete that period.

You are exempt from the English test if you are 50 or older with 20 years as a permanent resident, or 55 or older with 15 years. You still take the civics test, but you may take it in your own language, with an interpreter you bring.

It depends on when the application was filed. USCIS gives the 2008 test to people who filed before Oct. 20, 2025, and the 2025 test to people who file on or after that date. We tell you which study list is yours.

A licensed doctor or clinical psychologist can complete Form N-648 to ask USCIS for an exception to the English and civics requirements. USCIS also provides accommodations at appointments, such as a sign-language interpreter.

Trips matter. USCIS looks at whether your residence here was continuous and at how many months you were physically present. One long absence can break continuous residence, so we go through your dates before anything is filed.

Tell us first. Good moral character is judged over the years before you file, and some records can also put your green card itself at risk. We read the court documents with you before we file anything.
