Understanding Citizenship

What is U.S. Citizenship?

U.S. citizenship confers certain rights, privileges, and responsibilities on an individual. These include the right to vote, the right to live and work in the United States without fear of deportation, and the responsibility to serve on a jury if called upon to do so.

Citizenship can be obtained in one of two ways: by birth or naturalization. Most citizens of the United States acquire their citizenship either by being born in the United States or by having a parent who is a U.S. citizen.

Those who are not citizens by birth can become citizens of the United States through a process called naturalization. The requirements for naturalization vary depending on a number of factors, such as whether the applicant is applying as an adult or a child, how long they have been living in the United States, and their current immigration status.
