Naturalization (N-400)

Take the Final Step Toward Becoming a U.S. Citizen

Becoming a U.S. citizen is one of the most meaningful milestones in your immigration journey. Through the Naturalization process (Form N-400), eligible permanent residents can apply to become American citizens — gaining the right to vote, obtain a U.S. passport, petition more family members, and enjoy the full protections of citizenship.

At Nakimax Immigration Services, we help you prepare a complete, accurate, and well-organized N-400 application so you can move confidently toward this new chapter in your life.


What Is Form N-400?

A successful application requires:
