What Happened in class

In civics Mrs. Hibberts taught us about the Naturalization process. People that was not born in the United States, and want to become an American  citizen have to go through this process.


The first you would have to do is read the Naturalization guide. The Naturalization guide tells you how to apply for the Naturalization test

Then you have to Complete the Naturalization Eligibility Worksheet. This worksheet decide if you are eligible to apply for naturalization. If you do not meet all the requirements for this worksheet you can wait until you think you can pass this worksheet

If or when you pass that worksheet you get an Application for Naturalization (Form N-400).

After the form is filled out you have to be interviewed. After you are done with the interview you have to take a English and Civics tests. In the category you have to know Reading, Writing, and Speaking. If you pass your test, and interview you Take the Oath.

Taking the Oath is a promise to follow the U.S.A laws, and not take any orders from any foreign country etc. After you recite the oath they will give you your Certificate
of Naturalization. Then you are an American citizen.

Oath of Allegiance

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
