To become a U.S. citizen, Jose needs to meet the following requirements (selecting the applicable ones from the options provided):

  1. He must wait at least 5 years - This is generally true if he is applying for citizenship based on being a permanent resident (Green Card holder). The wait time can be 3 years if he is married to a U.S. citizen, but since that option is not provided, the 5-year wait is the relevant requirement.

  2. He must take a citizenship test - This is also a requirement for naturalization.

The other options are not necessary:

  • He must promise to serve in the military - This is not a requirement for citizenship; while military service can provide a pathway to expedited citizenship, it is not mandatory.

  • He must marry someone who is a citizen - This is also not a requirement; Jose can apply for citizenship based on his permanent residency status.

Therefore, the correct responses for Jose are:

  • He must wait at least 5 years
  • He must take a citizenship test
