US Citizenship Application Costs 

The spouse of a US citizen may apply to become a US citizen after 2 years and 9 months of permanent residency.

A lawful permanent resident, who is not married to a US citizen
must wait for 5 years of permanent residency before applying.

The process to become a US citizen is called Naturalization.

The fees to apply for Naturalization are paid to USCIS.

The fees as of April 1, 2024 are

either $760 or $380.

The difference is based on what your combined household income is.
If your household income is less than four times the poverty level,
you are eligible for the discounted fee of $380. If you household income
is over, then you pay the full fee of $760
