N-400 Naturalization Application

Legal Basis for Naturalization

The procedure for applying for U.S. citizenship through Form N-400 is based on the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This process allows a permanent resident (green card holder) to file an official application for U.S. citizenship upon meeting all established requirements.

Naturalization grants not only formal rights, such as voting eligibility and obtaining a U.S. passport, but also expanded legal protections, access to federal programs, and the ability to petition for family reunification under simplified procedures.

Purpose and Content of Form N-400

Form N-400 is the official application completed and submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) by an applicant seeking to undergo the naturalization process. The form contains information about personal details, immigration status, marital status, employment, travel history, criminal record (if applicable), tax obligations, and other aspects required to confirm compliance with established requirements.

The applicant must demonstrate good moral character, English language proficiency, and knowledge of U.S. history and government principles. A government fee, including a biometric services fee, must also be paid upon submission.

Significance of Form N-400 in the U.S. Immigration System

Form N-400 is a key component of the legal immigration system, marking the final stage of a foreign national's integration into U.S. legal and civil society. Its successful completion signifies official recognition of full legal affiliation with the state, transitioning from permanent resident to citizen status.

Obtaining citizenship through Form N-400 requires meeting high standards: applicants must demonstrate continuous residence in the U.S. for the required period, good conduct, compliance with laws, and readiness to fulfill civic duties.

The Role of Citizenship in the System of Rights and Responsibilities

U.S. citizenship provides not only broad legal opportunities but also imposes certain obligations. Upon obtaining citizenship, an individual becomes a full participant in the country's political, social, and legal systems and receives state protection both within and outside the U.S.

Thus, filing Form N-400 is not merely a legal procedure but a crucial stage of legal and social development, solidifying the applicant's status within the framework of American society.
