Understanding Citizenship and Naturalization
Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a foreign citizen after he or she fulfills requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). For Caribbean nationals, this process involves several critical steps and stringent requirements that must be meticulously managed to ensure success.
Key Requirements for Naturalization:
- Permanent Residency (Green Card): Applicants must have lived in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident for at least five years, or three years if married to a U.S. citizen.
- Physical Presence: Must be physically present in the U.S. for at least 30 months out of the 5 years before applying, or 18 months if married to a U.S. citizen.
- Good Moral Character: Demonstrating good moral character is crucial for the duration of the residency requirement.
- English and Civics Test: Proficiency in English and knowledge of U.S. history and government are required.
