hello guys i have a question on naturalization, my father has been a legal permanent resident in america for 13 years now, he has been staying with my eldest brother, though i have 3 other siblings who are all naturalized citizens, my question is he has never worked since he came to the us, my brothers have been caring for him, although he was retired from active civil service some months before he finally came to america on green card, can any one tell me if will be able to naturalize??? will there be obstacles due to fact that he hasnt worked, but he has never claimed public benefit mind u, my siblings have very good jobs with the government here in america
 
My parents were in the same situation, both of them didn't work and were living with me. We had just filled out the paperwork and and left the employment history as NONE. I did however send with them to the interview the form stating that i support them, but they were not asked for anything. I think as long as he meets other requirments he should not have any problem. Just have your brother fill out supporting form and whatever other documents they might ask for at the interview just in case they ask for it. Otherwise do not need to send anything like with the application. Good Luck.

Being employed is not necessarily a requirement .... otherwise spouses of greencard holders who receive the greencard as well would not be able to naturalize. Maybe it would not hurt if he can explain how he was supported, that is however not a question in the N400. It may come up during a coversation in the interview ... not a problem.

I Wanted To Thank You So Very Much For You Replies

I Will Tell My Brother To File The Papers And Also I Will Like To Know If You Guys Have An Idea Of How Long It Will Take On The Max For Him To Get Naturalised, Meanwhile I Have A Petition F2b He Filled For Me Since 2002 Its Been Approved But The Pd Is Presently April 1996 So I Want Him To Naturalize And Move To F1.
 
That is hard to say ... it depends mainly on your district office, in other words - it depends on where you live. However also complications during name check or just an administrative dead end or 'road block' could affect your processing time. So naturalization could be as short as 4 or 5 months and as long as two years. My impression is that most applicants are through in less than a year ...

Maybe this link will give you a better idea about your father's situation:
