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

  1. He must wait at least five years. (This is typically required for those who are permanent residents before applying for citizenship.)

  2. He must take a citizenship test. (This test assesses knowledge of U.S. history and government.)

The other options regarding marriage to a citizen and military service are not mandatory for all applicants seeking citizenship.
