Answer 1

To become a U.S. citizen, Jose needs to meet the following requirements from the provided options:

• He must wait at least five years. (This applies if he obtained a Green Card; if he is the spouse of a U.S. citizen, the wait time may be reduced to three years.)
• He must take a citizenship test.

The other options provided are not necessary for all cases of citizenship:

• He must marry someone who is already a citizen. (This is not a requirement for all applicants. It only applies if he is seeking citizenship through marriage.)
• He must promise to serve in the military. (This is not a requirement for citizenship, although there are certain paths for those who serve.)

Therefore, the correct answers are:

1. He must wait at least five years.
2. He must take a citizenship test.
