N-400, Application for Naturalization

Helping Modesto Immigrants Become U.S. Citizens

If you have a green card, your next step in the immigration process may be citizenship through naturalization. The benefits of citizenship are innumerable, allowing you to sponsor family members and fully participate in American society, politics, and government. But the process can be extensive, beginning with Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.


At Bilingual Mediation and Immigration Legal Services, we can help you file this form as quickly, thoroughly, and accurately as possible. The smallest mistakes or inconsistencies can prevent you from obtaining citizenship, and our job is to give you the highest possible chance of success. We can also guide you through all other aspects of the naturalization process, such as helping you gather evidence of your eligibility and preparing you for your interview.

Everything You Need to Know About Form N-400

The naturalization application is 20 pages long (not including instructions), and you can file either online or by mail. The filing fee is currently $640, plus an $85 biometric fee. However, the biometric fee can be waived if you are 75 or older, and both fees can be waived if you are a military applicant.

Your application will need to include:

  • A copy of your green card
  • A copy of your marriage certificate, if you are married
  • Two passport-style photographs, if you are living outside the U.S.
  • Evidence of your spouse’s employment abroad, if your spouse is a U.S. citizen and you are applying under 319(b)
  • Complete English translation of any documents in another language, along with a certification from your translator

Past or current military members will need to include additional materials, such as Form N-426, DD Form 214, NGB Form 22, official military orders, and/or discharge orders. USCIS also recommends reading A Guide to Naturalization before applying, which is a comprehensive overview of the process, requirements, and benefits of citizenship.

Requirements are extensive, including time spent in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident and good moral character. During your naturalization interview, you will need to demonstrate your knowledge of basic U.S. civics and history, as well as proficiency in reading, writing, and understanding the English language.

We offer genuine solutions for people — without high legal fees or confusing paperwork. Call us at (209) 701-0064 or schedule a consultation today!

"My divorce was difficult, and I didn’t want to go to court. Thankfully, I found Bilingual Mediation Services. They helped me and my ex-wife come to an agreement without needing attorneys. They spoke Punjabi, which made me feel comfortable, and they explained everything step by step. The mediator was fair, respectful, and very experienced. It saved us time, stress, and a lot of money. I'm truly grateful for their professionalism and understanding. I’ve already recommended them to my cousin, and I’ll continue to refer others. It’s hard to find service like this anymore."

"I needed help with preparing a living trust and will for my parents. We didn’t know where to start, but Sangeeta and her team made the process simple and stress-free. They answered all our questions and explained each document in a way that made sense. We felt supported and in good hands from start to finish. The pricing was fair, and the peace of mind we received was priceless. They even offered us a weekend appointment to accommodate our schedule. I couldn’t recommend them more!"

"I contacted them for help with a citizenship application for my mother. Not only did they help us complete everything correctly, they made sure my mom felt comfortable by speaking to her in Hindi. That personal touch meant everything to our family. The team is knowledgeable, kind, and very thorough. They reviewed every detail, explained timelines, and even followed up after submission. You can tell they care about their clients. We’re happy to say my mother is now a U.S. citizen, and it couldn’t have happened without their help!"
