Well, before you can get a passport you need to obtain US citizenship. This application process is the N-400 (that's the form you file). Usually it takes awhile for that form to process. I believe you can check people's timelines on here (hopefully that link works). Eventually you have a series of events, including biometrics, taking the citizenship test, having an interview, etc. This can also take several months. Finally you get sworn in as a citizen and you'll get the naturalization certificate. This is what you present when you apply for a US passport.

To actually apply for a passport, you fill out an application, collect the required documents, and submit it to a passport agency. Typically it takes 4 weeks or so to process the passport application, sometimes much less. You can also pay more to get the passport faster.

Hope that helps...

I agree. The U.S. passport is only available to American citizens. If you are traveling and need a new passport, contact an embassy or consulate of the country where you are now a citizen.
