The Path to Citizenship

The primary statutory provision for naturalization is INA § 316, codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1427, which outlines the requirements for continuous residence, physical presence, good moral character, and attachment to the United States. Regulations at 8 C.F.R. part 316 further detail the process.

At Vargas Gonzalez Delombard, LLP, our team does not file N-400 applications; however, we work with experienced attorneys in immigration law who guide lawful permanent residents through the path to citizenship.

  • A qualifying period of lawful permanent residence (usually 3 or 5 years)
  • Continuous residence and physical presence in the U.S.
  • Good moral character during the statutory period
  • English language and civics knowledge, with certain exceptions (USCIS)
