CITIZENSHIP AT BIRTH

In the United States, there are two ways to become a citizen: 1. by birth 2. by naturalization

You can become a natural born citizen if you are born in the 50 states, a territory (Puerto Rico) or a US military base You can also claim natural born citizenship if both

of your parents are American citizens or if you are a child born on American soil to non-US citizen parents.

Americans may also hold dual-citizenship (right in the US and in other countries)

NATURALIZATION PROCESS

1. Beginning the process:Aliens who wish to become US citizens

must first sign a statement saying just that; know as a declaration of intention.

This declaration is filed with the US citizenship and immigration services

Many immigrants take classes to prepare for the citizenship test

If you are at least 18 years old and have lived in the states at least three months you may file an application for citizenship


2. Interview and Examination:After the paperwork has been checked the

alien has an interview with a USCIS officialThe alien must meet certain requirements and be of good moral character

Must take the citizenship test that consists of questions about READING, WRITING, and SPEAKING English; basic facts about the history and government of the US


3. Oath of Allegiance:Final step is attending a ceremony

and pledging an oath of allegianceThe Alien swears to be loyal to this

country, obey the Constitution and all laws, and perform military duty if necessary.

All documents are signed; any children under the age of 18 become US citizens as well.
