While there’s no official “blueprint” to getting your United States citizenship – after all, people come here for different reasons, under different circumstances every day – there are things you can do to make the process a little easier.
Start by following these 3 tips:

1. Start by studying different U.S. Visas
Getting your United States citizenship takes years, and the best way to start is with a Visa. But since there are tons of different U.S. Visas, you’ll have to decide which one is best for your needs. In order to do that, you’ll need to determine why you’re coming here in the first place.
For example, are you coming to the U.S. for a new job? To go to school? To be with family members? Any of these reasons is a good one to get a Visa.
Choose carefully, though. All U.S. Visas come with rules – like specific start and end dates or rules about leaving the country once you get here. If you break any of them, your dreams of becoming a U.S. citizen may very well be gone for good!

2. Don’t be intimidated by USCIS forms
As you might expect, the entire immigration process is a sea of paperwork. While all of the different USCIS forms may seem scary at first, they don’t have to be.
After all, there are plenty of forms that won’t even apply to you! So, before you worry about answering a ton of questions or getting bogged down in paperwork, learn which USCIS forms apply to your situation, and which ones don’t. That way, you’ll be able to approach things in a calm, rational way.
Once you take the time to learn the difference between forms, you may discover that you only have to fill out a fraction of what you first thought!

3. Don’t take your citizenship application lightly
Once you’ve been living and working in the U.S. for years – and you’re ready to become a full-fledged citizen – you need to take your citizenship application very seriously. After all, there are countless people all over the world who dream of doing what you’re doing right now.
And, remember, you won’t get to just send in your citizenship application and call it a day. In order to get your United States citizenship, you’ll also have to pass a test and go through a face-to-face interview.
Once you get through all of that, though, the rewards are endless!
