Frequently asked questions

Most frequent questions and answers

What services can Immigration Forms Specialists provide?

An IFS may provide non-legal immigration services. Generally, these are services that do not require an attorney, unless your state requires you to be an attorney to provide immigration consultation.

Do I need a lawyer to apply for U.S. citizenship?

No you don’t, you can file USCIS forms, including Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.

Many people offer to help with immigration services. Unfortunately, not all of them are authorized or qualified to do so.

What are the criteria to apply for citizenship?

Additional documents will be requested at your appointment.

Does USCIS publish the naturalization test questions?

USCIS publishes a complete list of the 100 civics questions and answers for the naturalization test that USCIS may ask applicants during the naturalization interview. These questions are available in English, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. During the naturalization test, a USCIS officer will ask an applicant any 10 of these 100 civics questions. The USCIS officer will ask the applicant only the civics questions on this list.

Does USCIS make frequent changes to the questions on the naturalization test?

No. The questions on the naturalization test do not change. Some answers may change because of elections or appointments. As you study for the test, make sure you know the most current answers to these questions.

Because my Green Card allows me to travel between the United States and my home country, can I live in both places until I am ready to apply for citizenship?

To qualify for citizenship, generally applicants must demonstrate they have continuously resided in the United States for at least 5 years before filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. This means you must be residing exclusively in the United States – not in any other country.

How Can I Help a Family Member Immigrate?

Your status determines which relatives (or future relatives) may be eligible to receive immigration benefits. In order to help a family member immigrate, you must be a:

– U.S. citizen
– Green Card holder (permanent resident)
– Refugee admitted as a refugee within the past 2 years or asylee granted asylum within the past 2 years

How long will I be able to stay in the United States with TPS?

The answer depends on the nature of the emergency situation in your country and the length of time for which DHS designates your native country TPS-eligible. The initial period provided is not less than six months and not more than 18 months, but DHS can extend this time if country conditions warrant it. As such, some TPS immigrants have been able to live and work in the U.S. for ten or more years, while others only for a year or two. To see the list of countries currently designated for TPS, visit USCIS’s TPS page.
