A citizenship form is the document that helps green card holders achieve citizenship in the United States. A person who has a green card may apply for US citizenship after filing a citizenship form with the government. There are several qualifications that must be met before an immigrant becomes eligible for status as a US citizen. The application must be filled out in its entirety and forwarded to the proper authorities for review.What is on the Citizenship Form?The citizenship form is a very detailed list that will require the full legal name, address, birthdate, arrest history (including expunged records), military record and circumstances surrounding length of time lived in the US of the naturalization applicant. People attempting to receive citizenship in the US must be truthful on the application. The citizenship form will be thoroughly examined before it will be approved. One slight misconception can be reason for denial of the application.How Long Before Approval or Denial of Citizenship Form?Most applications are reviewed and either approved or denied within a 6 month period. There is a cost of $595 for application for citizenship. All applicants must be fingerprinted soon after filing the citizenship form. He or she will be directed where to go in order to get fingerprinting performed. That cost approximately $80. Both costs are non-refundable, even if the citizenship form is denied.What Happens if the Citizenship is Denied?If citizenship is denied, the applicant might be able to apply again in the future. It highly depends on the reason for denial as to whether a new form will be accepted. If the applicant believes that the government made an error in the processing of the naturalization process, he or she may file a dispute to attempt to have the final decision overturned.What Happens after Citizenship is ApprovedAfter citizenship is approved, there are a few steps left to becoming a full-fledged US citizen. The applicant will be told when to meet for an interview and to be sworn in. Once those two things are completed, the applicant becomes a legal citizen of the United States.After receiving confirmation and proof of being a citizen, the new American will enjoy all of the perks of every other legal citizen in the country. When a person has to work his or her way through the citizenship process, he or she appreciates the privilege more than can be expressed in words.
