If you want to immigrate to the United States, these basic prerequisites must be met.

The new immigration law of the United States stipulates that all foreign immigrants with legal residency can apply for American citizenship, but they must meet certain conditions before they can be approved.

First of all, you must live in the United States for five consecutive years after obtaining permanent residency. This is the minimum residence period for naturalization. Within five years, you can't leave the United States for more than six months in a row. If it is more than half a year, you must provide proof that you have no intention of giving up the right of abode in the United States. Therefore, it is necessary to extend the naturalization application time accordingly and recalculate the residence time in the United States.

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 as long as they meet the conditions for applying for American citizenship, so as to become American citizens as soon as possible and enjoy all the rights as American citizens. But the prerequisite must be a marriage relationship that lasts for more than two years.

Third, when applying for naturalization, you must live in the United States for the last six months of five consecutive years and live in the local state or city for at least six months.

4. Applicants for naturalization must be at least 18 years old. Foreigners under the age of 16 who have permanent residency in the United States, whose parents have acquired American citizenship, can automatically acquire American citizenship with their parents. However, children aged between 16 and 18 must apply for naturalization independently. If the child is under the age of 18, and one parent is an American citizen and the other parent is a foreigner, before the child reaches the age of 18, the parent with American citizenship can apply for naturalization on his behalf.

Five, must have a preliminary English reading, listening, speaking and writing skills. Applicants for naturalization should have a certain degree of English knowledge and a certain degree of English ability. When examining the eligibility for naturalization, immigration officials will conduct an oral test, and the naturalization applicant will answer the knowledge about American history and the American government in English.

You must behave well during your five years in America. According to American immigration law, sexual intercourse with others, selling sexual intercourse or bigamy, or failing to perform maintenance obligations, as well as drinking and taking drugs are all bad behaviors and cannot be naturalized.

Seven, must have a certain understanding of American history and constitution, immigration law. It is mainly about the understanding of important events, figures, government agencies and rights in American history, as well as the understanding of the principles and important amendments of the American Constitution.
