What Happens After Filing N-400 (Application for Naturalization)
U.S. Immigration Center Toll Free Helpline:
2
Receipt of Application (2-3 weeks after filing)
If your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, has been properly filed, USCIS will initially respond by sending you a receipt notice that confirms receipt of your application. The receipt notice is formally known as Form I-797C, Notice of Action (see example below).
3
Appointment Notice for Biometrics (3-5 weeks after filing)
Next, you will receive an appointment notice that will include your biometrics appointment date, time and location. USCIS requires applicants to be fingerprinted for the purpose of conducting a security clearance and criminal background check. All applicants must have background checks completed before USCIS will schedule an interview.
4
Biometrics Appointment (5-8 weeks after filing)
The biometrics appointment, also known as a biometrics screening, is generally a short appointment (15-30 minutes) so that USCIS can collect your fingerprints, photograph and signature. Your appointment notice will tell you what you need to bring. Typically, acceptable documents include: Passport or national photo identification issued by your country Driver’s license Military photo identification State-issued photo identification card
5
Appointment Notice for Naturalization Interview (3-5 months after filing)
After completing the biometrics appointment, USCIS will send another appointment notice for your naturalization interview. Make every attempt to attend the interview time as scheduled for you. Rescheduling an interview may add several months to the naturalization process. By now you should know about Citizenship Interview and Test.
6
Naturalization Interview (4-6 months after filing)
At the interview, a USCIS officer will typically go through the entire N-400 application to confirm that the answers previously provided are still correct. If the applicant is informed at the interview that they have been preliminarily approved for naturalization, then the next step will be to wait for the notice with the place and time of the oath ceremony. In some cases, the USCIS officer will not be able to make a decision on application for naturalization on the day of your interview. In these cases, the USCIS officer will continue your case.
7
Naturalization Interview (4-6 months after filing)
After your interview, USCIS will give you Form N-652, Naturalization Interview Results. It will gives you information about the results of your interview. They will either grant, continue, or deny your naturalization application after your interview. Granted—USCIS may approve your Form N-400 if the evidence on record establishes your eligibility for naturalization. Continued – USCIS may continue your Form N-400 if you failed a test or did not give USCIS the correct documents. This will add time to your case as you correct the problem. Denied—USCIS will deny your Form N-400 if the evidence on record establishes you are not eligible for naturalization.
8
Notice of Oath Ceremony (1-4 weeks after interview)
After the interview, you will receive a notice to take the Oath of Allegiance (N-445, Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony). The notice will include a request to answer some additional questions that will be submitted at the actual oath ceremony.
9
Oath of Allegiance Ceremony (5-8 months after filing)
You are not a U.S. citizen until you take the Oath of Allegiance at a naturalization ceremony. The oath is administered by USCIS at an administrative ceremony or by a judge in a judicial ceremony. A court has exclusive authority to conduct the ceremonies in certain USCIS districts. After taking the Oath of Allegiance, you will turn in your green card and receive your Certificate of Naturalization.
