Citizenship question

[nunette 1]

Both my parents are permanent resident of US, my mom want to apply for her citizenship, does my father need to apply as well or could my mother just apply for herself? is there anything to qualify to apply for the citizenship?

Each spouse applies separately. They can, of course, choose not to if they so wish. 

 

Find the "Resident Since" date on their green card, add five years and deduct 90 days. This is the earliest date upon which they can file their N-400.

citizenship is an option, there is no obligation to become a USC, it is an individual choice, while your mom may want to become a USC, you dad might never want to be a USC
