A Guide to Naturalization

Recent changes in immigration law and USCIS procedures now make it easier for U.S. military personnel to naturalize (see Naturalization Information for Military Personnel).

A Guide to Naturalization (M-476) provides information on the benefits and responsibilities of citizenship, an overview of the naturalization process, and eligibility requirements.

To view the Guide, you must have the free Adobe Reader software installed on your computer. If you do not have this software you may download it from the Adobe Corporation.
