- 1). Become a U.S. citizen. This requires filing Form N-400, the Application for Naturalization, with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You are only eligible to submit Form N-400 if you are married to a U.S. citizen and have been living in the U.S. for at least three years. You can obtain this application on the USCIS website. USCIS officials may investigate whether or not you and your spouse live together, have joint bank accounts, and other evidence that the marriage is a true part of your daily life and not "on paper" only.
- 2). Pass a written U.S. history test and conduct an interview in the English language. This will be given to you by USCIS after reviewing Form N-400. If you pass the test and the interview, you will be required to swear an oath of allegiance to the U.S. You will not have to give up your Peruvian citizenship to become a U.S. citizen.
- 3). Submit your Certificate of Citizenship along with Form DS-11, the Application for a U.S. Passport, to the U.S. Dept. of State. If you are a first-time applicant for a U.S. passport, this form and certificate must be submitted in person. Please note that you must not sign Form DS-11 until you are at the facility and an Acceptance Agent can watch you sign it in person.
- 4). Present identification to the Acceptance Agent, such as your naturalization certificate. You must both show the original and also leave a photocopy with the agent. The photocopy must be on standard letter-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches) and the copy must be single-sided.
- 5). Pay the application fee.
- 6). Submit two passport-sized photos. You may have these photos taken at your local drugstore. Do not staple them to your application.
- 7). Retain your Peruvian passport if you choose, but do not show it as a form of ID when applying for your U.S. passport. When traveling overseas, you can choose which passport - Peru or U.S. - you want to travel with.
