Wanting to work in America

Applicants who wish to apply for citizenship of the United States must:

be at least 18 years of age, mentally competent
have lived in the United States prior to filing an application
be of good moral character, demonstrate your willingness to support and embrace the Constitution
and be able to pass the educational requirements of basic English language including reading, writing and using common words in English.
Also; you must have a basic knowledge of the government and history of the United States. It will be up to the individual tester or interviewer to give the test and determine your ability to understand the English language.

There are exceptions to these requirements; for details of each please visit the Federal Regulations website.

Remember, there are local organizations and community development centers all around that offer English classes and other educational programs about U.S. History. Check your local county directory for a list of communities near you.
