I hereby
declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or
sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;
that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United
States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will
bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf
of the United States when required by law; that I will perform noncombatant
service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law;
that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction
when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any
mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. In acknowledgement
whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.
In some cases,
INS allows the oath to be taken without the clauses:
that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law;
that I will perform non-combatant service in the Armed Forces of the United
States when required by law.
