To become a naturalized citizen of the United States, the following statements are true:

  1. Must pass a test to demonstrate knowledge of U.S. history and civics - This is a requirement for naturalization.

  2. Must speak, read, and write at least basic English - Proficiency in English is a requirement for naturalization.

The other statements are not accurate:

  • Must be either married to a U.S. citizen or related to one - This is not a requirement. You do not have to be married to a U.S. citizen to apply for naturalization.

  • Must be at least 21 years old and willing to serve in the military - You can apply for naturalization at age 18. Although there are provisions for military service members, there is no requirement to serve in the military to become a citizen.

  • Must reside in the United States for one year and hold a job - Generally, you must have lawful permanent resident status (green card holder) for at least 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen) before applying for naturalization, not just 1 year. Holding a job is not a requirement for naturalization.

  • Must vote in all federal, state, and local elections - Voting is a right granted to citizens, but it is not a requirement for becoming a naturalized citizen.

In summary, the two correct statements are about passing the civics test and demonstrating basic English proficiency.
