Many U.S. permanent residents who are eligible for citizenship may find it more convenient to pay naturalization fees using their credit cards, yet currently there is no process available to do so. 

But starting fall 2015, USCIS will implement a process for naturalization applicants to pay the fee using a credit card.

The announcement was part of a Federal Strategic Action Plan on Immigrant & Refugee Integration published this week by the The White House Task Force on New Americans.

The plan also includes a multilingual citizenship public awareness campaign about the rights, responsibilities, and importance of citizenship, and available citizenship preparation tools.

Also a $10 million citizenship and integration grants program; the appointment of presidential ambassadors to promote citizenship and naturalization; and the expansion of citizenship outreach partnerships.

Additionally the Identification of opportunities to inform individuals eligible for naturalization, which will include leveraging existing case status and e-filing tools to notify permanent residents seeking to renew or replace a permanent resident card about potential eligibility for naturalization.

More than 41 million foreign-born residents live in the United States. That represents 13 percent of the population and close to 17 percent of the current labor force.
