Permanent residence requirements of American immigrants

Condition 1: After obtaining permanent residency, you must have lived in the United States for 5 years. This is the minimum residence time for naturalization. In five years, you can't leave the United States for more than six months. If it is more than 6 months, you must provide proof that you have no intention of giving up living in the United States. This will also extend the application time for naturalization to a certain extent, and will recalculate the residence time in the United States. However, the United States actually needs to live for at least 3 years and at least meet the statutory time limit of 1.5 before applying for naturalization.

Condition 2: Other international people who are married to American citizens can only apply for naturalization to the Immigration Bureau after two years of marriage. The new immigration law stipulates that foreign citizens who are married to American citizens or permanent residents should apply for naturalization as soon as possible after meeting their application conditions, so as to become American citizens as soon as possible and enjoy the same rights as American citizens. But only if you have been married for more than 2 years.

Condition 3: After applying for naturalization, you must have lived in the United States for five consecutive years, and you must have lived in the local state or city for at least six months in the last six months.

Condition 4: Naturalization applicants must be at least 18 years old. The parents of foreign citizens under the age of 16 who have permanent residency in the United States have obtained American citizenship. At this time, you can accompany your parents to automatically obtain American citizenship. 16-/kloc-Children aged 0/8 must apply for naturalization independently. /kloc-children under the age of 0/8 can apply for naturalization on their behalf before their parents are foreigners who are American citizens and one of them has American citizenship.

Condition 5: You must have basic English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Naturalization applicants need to know English and have the corresponding English ability, because immigration officials will ask naturalization applicants to answer questions about American history and government in spoken English when examining naturalization qualifications. So as to examine the applicant's actual English expression ability.

Naturalization: Some countries require permanent residence green cards to go through an evaluation stage, that is, permanent residence first, then permanent residence. If you want to become a citizen after obtaining permanent residence, most countries require residence+language test+oath. If you pass successfully and get a passport of a certain country, that is, naturalization, you can enjoy visa-free treatment and landing visa treatment in that country, and travel will be more convenient. However, China does not recognize dual citizenship. Therefore, in theory, if a China person gets a passport from another country, his China passport will be invalid and he has no domestic account, but the social security and commercial insurance he has paid is still valid. At the same time, it should be noted that if you have obtained passports from other countries, you need a visa to return to China, and the single stay time is mostly within half a year, which is not once and for all. Therefore, we usually advise customers that if they need passports from other countries, the men at home can keep their green cards, so that they can be both offensive and defensive.
