Re: lived in US 9years and wanting to get citizenship

You need to obtain permanent residence in the USA (ie. Obtain a "green card").
Then, after becoming a permanent resident for five years, you can apply for
citizenship (as a side note, if you are married to a US citizen, you need only be
a permanent resident for three years before applying).

Good luck!
