my friend...i answered this question before...here goes.....are you trying to say that the resident alien becomes a u.s. citizen? if your answer to the question is yes then all that you have to do is go to your local or nearest Immigration office and APPLY for citizenship. you need to pay, $600 i believe. after some time, after submitting your application, immigration will contact you, ask you a few questions in English about the united states, such as who was the first president, how many stars on the flag, who is your senator and a lot of Mickey Mouse questions. but not to worry, shortly after you apply and pay, you will be sent sample questions, so no big deal. when you take the oral exam, which takes about five minutes, the immigration official administering the exam will tell you that you passed. that you are now a u.s. citizen, but you will receive another letter after that telling you where to go and at what time where you will take the Oath of Allegiance. that is all, but remember, citizenship is not automatic, YOU NEED TO APPLY AND THEN WAIT FOR IMMIGRATION TO CONTACT YOU AND JUST DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU, and what they will tell you is what i just got thru outlining. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
