While a simple Google search may give you a generic answer of 6 months, this is often highly inaccurate. With more and more people migrating to the United States, the overall process to become a citizen has become longer and longer. The process can take anywhere from 6 months to a year or long dependent upon some varying factors. Depending on your background, where you live, how many other applicants apply during the same time of year, or even all the applicants who have applied before you can cause your road to citizenship take a little longer. However, these are all factors that cannot be avoided. A huge element that can be prevented and can seriously affect the time of your application is mistakes in your application. Therefore, it is essential to have an experience citizenship attorney by your side to ensure that your application is mistake free before you submit.

To qualify for citizenship, you must have residency in the United States for five years or three years if your spouse is a United States resident. With that being said, you must comprehensively document every single time you are out of the country in your citizenship application. You can travel outside of the United States while you are in the citizenship process. However, if your trip last longer than 180 consecutive days, your application may be denied because it can be determined that you do not continuously reside in the United States.
