N-400 Immigration Services in Lancaster, Ohio
Preparing N-400 on your own can feel overwhelming, especially if English is not your first language.

Used by eligible lawful permanent residents to apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization..
Lancaster is part of the diverse immigrant community we serve across Central Ohio. We take time to explain each step in plain language, and we will always tell you when a situation requires an immigration attorney rather than a immigration services provider.

Fees and official sources
USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current N-400 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.
Processing times for N-400 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.
USCIS government filing fees are separate from Asal document-preparation fees and change over time. Always verify the current fee and form edition on USCIS.gov before filing.
