How to File an Application for My Wife's Naturalization as a U.S. Citizen?


Question:

How to file an application for my wife's naturalization as a U.S. citizen? Can I sponsor my wife’s parents for US Green Cards?

Answer:

To file an application for naturalization, the spouse must have been a lawful resident of the U.S. for a three year period or more. The spouse must have lived in the U.S. where she files the application for citizenship. Moreover, the spouse must not leave the United States after filing her application and must remain within the country until she becomes a naturalized US citizen.

Applicants who file their naturalization applications will be required to appear for the naturalization interview. Hence, the spouse must prepare for these tests and must demonstrate that she can read, write and speak English. Similarly, the applicant’s knowledge of the US history will also be tested.

If your wife satisfies all the requirements, she can apply for US citizenship after residing in the country for a three year period as a permanent resident. After she becomes a US citizen, she can sponsor her parents for lawful status in America, within three or four months from the date of becoming a US citizen.
