meet in order to become a U.S. citizen? Select all that
apply.

Answer 1

To become a U.S. citizen, Jose needs to meet several requirements. Based on the options you provided, the relevant requirements for naturalization are:

1. He must wait at least five years. - If he is applying for citizenship based on permanent residency (Green Card), he typically must have been a permanent resident for at least five years. If he marries a U.S. citizen, this period can be reduced to three years.

2. He must take a citizenship test. - Applicants for U.S. citizenship must pass a citizenship test that covers U.S. history and government.

The other two options you provided are not requirements for all applicants:

• He must marry someone who is already a citizen. - This is not a requirement for naturalization for someone who qualifies based on their residency.

• He must promise to serve in the military. - While there are provisions for applicants who have served in the military, it is not a requirement for all applicants seeking naturalization.

In summary, the correct requirements for Jose are:

• He must wait at least five years (unless he meets another criteria like marriage to a citizen).
• He must take a citizenship test.
