Citizenship In The United States

Becoming a citizen of the United States can happen in a number of ways, which include:

  • Being born in the U.S. or certain U.S. territories
  • Being born to a parent with U.S. citizenship
  • Having served in the U.S. Armed Forces
  • Being a dependent of a U.S. service member or veteran
  • Applying for citizenship through an individual’s parents
  • Going through the naturalization process

In some cases, though, the process of receiving U.S. citizenship can be a challenge due to the complexity of immigration law and the time it typically takes to see an application through the entire naturalization process.

Securing Citizenship

In instances of employment-based and family-related immigration, securing citizenship first requires sponsorship for a green card, which can be done by a family member or an employer. There are strict guidelines, however, in each situation that must be followed in order to ensure the integrity of an individual’s green card application. A green card holder must also have been a lawful permanent resident for a specific period of time before applying for citizenship.

Benefits Of Citizenship

Though applying for citizenship can be a challenge, it is incredibly valuable for individuals who want to live and work in the U.S. for the rest of their lives. Having citizenship also makes the risk of deportation less likely because of a criminal conviction, meaning families are less likely to become separated due to a violation of U.S. immigration law.
