Citizenship
There are several ways to become a U.S. citizen when you have been born outside the U.S. Some people are U.S. citizens automatically because their parents were U.S. citizens before or after they were born. Others do not have US citizen parents but have been legal permanent residents for several years and are eligible for Naturalization.
We know that the application for a US citizenship can seem be confusing, but we are here to help you!
Naturalization
Naturalization is the process by which a legal immigrant from the United States obtains United States citizenship. It is granted to a foreign or national citizen after he or she meets the requirements established by Congress in the immigration and nationality law.
Transmission of citizenship
Transmission of citizenship is the process by which a person acquires citizenship because one or both their parents are U.S. citizens or automatically becomes a citizen through the naturalization of their parents. The father or mother can be a citizen by birth or naturalization.
