Online submission allows foreigners to submit forms electronically, check the status of their case and receive notifications from USCIS. The Citizenship and Immigration Services uses new technologies to meet the needs of applicants, petitioners and staff. Regardless of the paper or electronic format of the application or petition, USCIS is committed to providing a safe and efficient process for everyone, the agency’s website said.

“We are pleased to offer convenient online naturalization application services,” said USCIS Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow. “USCIS has always been committed to supporting the immigration needs of those currently serving or previously serving the United States in the armed forces. Citizenship is one of the special privileges our nation provides, and we are proud to naturalize those who put their lives on the map of our country.”

Those who currently serve or have served in the U.S. armed forces may be eligible to apply for naturalization in accordance with the special provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Military personnel and veterans are exempt from fees for submitting applications for naturalization, as well as from certain requirements. Until now, US troops and veterans have filed a paper form of N-400. The provisions of the law extend certain immigration benefits to members of the military family.
