How much does it cost to become an American citizen?

• And how long should it take? I have heard that you really need an immigration lawyer to represent you and that there are fees for filing papers and so on that mount up to thousands of dollars. What's the truth on this matter?

• Answer:

  It costs $680* to file an application for citizenship: $595* application fee and $85* fingerprinting fee. Let me just warn you that it takes alot of paper work and you need a valid visa in order to become a citizen. However, the paperwork should not require you to get a lawyer, as the work isnt that hard and the lawyer would cost a couple thousand dollars. In order to become a U.S. citizen you must reside in the United States as a permanent resident continuously for five years. An exception to this rule is if you are married to, and living with the same U.S. citizen spouse you can qualify after only three years. To be a citizen, you are required to know about basic U.S. history and government, and be able to speak, read, and write simple English. You should see an immigration attorney or other legal counselor in any of the following situations: *You have been convicted of a crime. *You have ever lied to an immigration officer, consular official, or government official. *You married solely to obtain residency status. *Since becoming a lawful permanent resident, you have been absent from the United States for long *periods of time, especially periods over one year. *You have ever been arrested. *You failed to file an income tax return for any year since becoming a lawful permanent resident. *You owe child support Thanks for answering mine! =)
