 United States Citizenship
Enjoy the benefits and advantages of United States citizenship.
United States Citizenship is one step beyond permanent
residence (Green Card). US Citizenship gives the individual the maximum rights
available in the United States. United States citizens may also find it
advantageous to use a U.S. passport when traveling abroad.
Most United States citizens acquired citizenship by birth, but persons born in
other countries may apply to become U.S. citizens. This process is called "Naturalization".
Download the Citizenship Application
guide and the Naturalization Test Study Guide for more information.
