Citizenship gives an immigrant to this country the rights and duties of a U.S. citizen. The basic qualifications for citizenship include:

Must be at least 18 years of age
Must be a permanent U.S. resident (green card holder) for a minimum of five years
Must have been in the U.S. for a period of 30 months with no more than a six month absence
Having good moral character
Having a basic understanding of U.S. History
Able to read, write and speak English

An immigrant that is married to a U.S. citizen can apply for citizenship after three years. Persons given asylum in this country are eligible for citizenship after four years. Individuals with a criminal record, including offenses such as drug trafficking, domestic violence, sex crimes and weapons charges, may be denied citizenship under the guidelines regarding the moral character of the applicant.

A Lawrenceville immigration lawyer can discuss your qualifications for citizenship in more detail, and help prepare your citizenship application.
