You have to be here for a continued stay of five years. Then fill out an application for adjustment of status then interview then exam then oathtaking and then you are an american citizen

You have to be a U.S. citizen, national or naturalised.  And you have to know how to spell and punctualise correctly.

JPB and Just are correct:  you must be either a US citizen or a legal permanent resident in order to serve in the US military.

File a petition in the US for naturalization as US citizen.  Prove it by documents showing that you married an American citizen, had been living in the US for the past 29 years and had children who are  US citizens.

Go to the nearest American Embassy and inquire of this.\nYou have to submit a application for a request to become \na citizen of the United States of America and I believe it takes 5 years to become a naturalized citizen of the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must be a permanent legal resident of the United States..as in a Green Card Holder.  You can not enlist in any branch of the military without being a Green Card Holder.  The military cannot and will not assist you in getting to the United States nor can they help with INS/ICE paperwork

Let me get this right for you D Wade! You need a passport (US too) if you fly into another country! A visa also , depending on the country!  A green card does NOT donate US citizenship in any form or fashion! All green card holders are NOT US citizens! The green card gives you authorization to both work and reside within the US only! The permanent resident will be required to have a valid passport from  his or her original homeland (country of citizenship). Only until the permanent resident is naturalized, then can he or she have a US passport!! Remember, the passport ( doesn't matter which country) is the undisputed form of identification worldwide! The green card (resident visa) proves the US is your homeland, but will not get you onto an international flight!!

go to www.uscis.gov - the website should guide you what you need to get a green card and of course you need to be here first legally.

It depends on your status now.  If you are illegal, you need to get a work visa.  First step: you need a US citizen sponsor--a relative, spouse, etc.--then hire an immigration lawyer to help you petition Homeland Security for permission to continue to the the next step, which is (for Mexicans) to live in a Mexican border town that has a US consul until that consul issues or Denys your work visa.  You might be there 3 to 8 months.  If you are here legally, you must get a green card, if you have a green card you have to wait a bit over four years to apply for citizenship.

That would be the mayor of the town you live in.\n\nDon't mind the ignorant answers you have gotten thus far. You have chosen to come to our country and become a legal American citizen the "right" way. That's a good thing!!! :)

The only prerequisite that you have to meet is to be a born or naturalized citizen. Other than that, there are MANY ways to be a "true American".

Contact the local American consulate and ask them. I can tell you one thing, though: you're not a citizen automatically just because your wife is, but you do qualify for a green card.
