FAQ: How do I change my name with my N-400 Naturalization/Citizenship application?

What is Naturalization?

Naturalization is the process by which a lawful permanent resident (Green Card Holder) applies for and is granted U.S. citizenship. U.S. citizenship is a legal status that offers many benefits and responsibilities, including the ability to vote in U.S. federal elections, serve on a jury, travel with a U.S. passport, and bring family members to the United States. Importantly, once obtained, U.S. citizenship cannot be abandoned or lost by spending extended periods of time outside of the United States (as is the case with permanent residence). In order to naturalize, generally speaking you need to wait at least 4 years and 9 months after obtaining lawful permanent residence before you can submit your N-400 application for naturalization (citizenship).

If you have received your permanent residence through marriage, you may not have to wait the standard 5 years of permanent residency to apply for citizenship. In this case, you may apply to naturalize (obtain U.S. citizenship) in three years, if you continue living in marital union with your U.S. citizen spouse and meet the other requirements for naturalization.
