Even if you were not born in the United States, you can still become an American Citizen. The process is called Naturalization and it lets eligible individuals gain the rights and responsibilities of a US born person.
You can become a US Citizen through your parents or spouse. It is also possible if you have lived in the country as a permanent resident for 5 years or more and if you have served in the U.S. Army.
People who came to the United States as minors may already be citizens if at least one of their parents went through the naturalization process. If that is your case, then you should request further information or a Certificate of Citizenship from USCIS.
If you want to become a US citizen, we recommend consulting Alice Antonovsky, immigration specialist.
- If you are a US citizen, you can vote, apply for federal employment and run for publicly elected positions. Some advantages that citizens have over permanent residents are a U.S passport and the right to apply for certain federal aid programs.
- The naturalization procedure states that permanent residents can apply for their citizenship after 5 years, U.S citizens’ spouses after 3 years and members of the military at any time after 1 year of service. Keep in mind that applicants must also meet all other requirements, such English language proficiency and U.S history knowledge.
