How can I get ready for my naturalization application?
I went to the USCIS website to begin the application process for naturalization and I still don’t know how to begin the process. I saw the application Form N400 and wondered what it entails. Do I need all my documents before I begin the application or can I just gather those documents when I am ready to submit the application?

Answers
Once an immigrant determines s/he meets the eligibility requirements, s/he can submit the N400 form. The N400 form is the application for naturalization. The form consists of many questions regarding the personal history and criminal record of the applicant. The form will list all necessary documents which are required to be submitted with the application (birth certificate, passport, marriage records, etc.).The form asks for detailed historical information and it is best to gather your documents before you sit down to answer all the questions.
The process will go more smoothly, and more quickly, if you have your answers at your fingertips when you begin actually filling out the form. If you have the documents in front of you, you will be less likely to guess the wrong dates, etc. because you will have the correct information with you. This will also make the n400 interview go more smoothly because all of your answers will match your documentation.
Talk to an Immigration Lawyer about your situation, and find out how to prepare your case so you can avoid any legal issues.
