Answer 1

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

1. He must take a citizenship test.
2. He must wait at least five years. (This applies if he is applying for citizenship through naturalization and is not married to a U.S. citizen. If he had been married to a U.S. citizen, he would only need to wait three years.)

The other options are not necessary for him to become a U.S. citizen. Therefore, the correct selections for Jose are:

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