Naturalization
It is possible to live a lifetime in the United States as a legal resident, but after living in the United States for several years, many immigrants seek to become citizens of their adoptive home. Whether you are motivated by patriotism, the desire to participate in US elections, seeking to cement your right to live in the same country as your family, or for any other reason.
To become a US citizen, you must:
- Be born in the US or US territories.
- Being born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents and meeting other requirements
- Acquire citizenship through parents if you are a lawful permanent resident before age 18, or Go through the naturalization process.
US citizenship by birth
You are automatically a US citizen if you were born in the United States. In most cases, you are also a US citizen if you were born in:
- Puerto Rico
- Guam
- The US Virgin Islands
You don't have to navigate immigration law alone
Becoming a US citizen does not happen overnight. In most cases, applicants must have lived in the United States for at least five years; that requirement is reduced to three years for residents married to US citizens.
