The Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), Office of Immigration Statistics, has recently released its report: Naturalizations in the United States: 2008. In 2008, United States and Citizenship Services ("USCIS") naturalized 1046,539 people. This number is the highest number of people naturalized in one year and broke all previous records. Out of that number, 297,909 resided in California. California's numbers make up 28.5% of the total number of people naturalized.
The San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont metropolitan area was the sixth highest area in terms of where people who naturalized were residing. The San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara area followed closely behind as the ninth highest area.
