Note: 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.
This comprehensive Guide (English
edition rev. 2/04) is now available in several languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. You may access an edition of the Guide by clicking on the links provided below.
