  • A Guide to Naturalization Page Title

    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).

    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.
