What’s the time from GC to citizenship? I got GC last year. What do I need to do to take the next step? Talk to my company lawyer?

You will be eligible to apply for Citizenship through Naturalisation after 5 years. Depending on the queue at time, you will need to wait for the interview days. Currently, it is between 4-6 months.

Mck you need to get your priorities in order. I’m sure current partner would understand 😂

You’re eligible 4 years and 9 months after you get your green card. You apply yourself, it takes about a year these days after application

So would i like get a mail from USCIS saying bruv, you’re naturalized, get cracking on the interview? Or do I need to actively track / do something? Thanks fam

You will need to apply once you meet the eligibility criteria

1. You can apply for citizenship after you continue to reside in the US for 5 years after your GC. Typically, you can apply 90 days prior to completion of 5 years.
2. You dont need a lawyer. You need to file the N-400 form. Pretty easy and straight forward. Be sure to capture travel details outside of US after your GC.
3. Once you apply, it could take anywhere between 6-12 months (depending on where you live) for your application to be processed. You will get a request for fingerprinting first.
4. Once they have processed your application, you will be called for an interview. You need to study for the test and display good moral character. If the officer interviewing you is convinced, he will approve you for the oath taking ceremony.
5. You are looking at about 5 years end to end if you apply when you are eligible.

It will be good to maintain travel details. They stopped stamping the passport once I had Global Entry.

You can apply after 4 years and 6 months (I did) by the time you get your interview you should have finished 5 years. I got my citizenship in 2007 and believe this rule remains the same check it out

OP, if you don’t mind sharing. How many years did it take from the GC application to the actually getting the GC?

Thanks!
