Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is conferred upon a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
The bureau of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) processes all naturalization applications and provides the Court with a list of the candidates selected to be naturalized in the Federal Court. The court does not have the ability to change your scheduled naturalization date.
If you have specific questions regarding the Naturalization process please contact the
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. To schedule an appointment with the USCIS office go to INFOPASS . For more information on contacting USCIS CLICK HERE.
The culmination of the Naturalization process is the administration of the Oath of Citizenship. In the District of Kansas, approximately 2,500 petitioners take the oath of citizenship in a formal ceremony every year. The ceremony typically lasts for about an hour. For specific questions regarding the Naturalization ceremony, please contact the clerk's office in your location.
