The last form, done first-rate

Naturalization reopens the entire immigration file. The application is easy; being ready for what it asks is the practice.

The N-400 looks like a capstone formality. It is actually an audit: residence math, travel history, tax posture, and every police contact since the green card — reviewed by an officer with the power to grant citizenship or refer the file the other way. The difference between those outcomes is preparation.

Eligibility math

Continuous residence and physical presence calculated against passports and I-94 history — before the government does it.

Record review

Arrests, taxes, and support obligations examined up front, so the application is filed when it is ready to win.

Test & interview

Civics and English preparation, exemption analysis where age and residence qualify, and a practice interview that removes surprises.

FAQ

Common questions

When am I eligible to naturalize?
Generally after five years as a permanent resident, or three when married to and living with a US citizen — with physical-presence and continuous-residence math that long trips can quietly break. Eligibility is calculated, not assumed.
Does an old arrest matter?
It can, even when the case was dismissed — the application asks, and the background check answers. Records get reviewed before filing so the answer is prepared, truthful, and safe.
What if I've spent long periods outside the US?
Absences over six months raise presumptions; over a year, breaks. Sometimes the fix is evidence, sometimes waiting, sometimes a reentry-permit history. The math is run first.
