Ways to obtain US citizenship

by Lilit L on 06 вересня 2023 р. 14:30

Many people dream of moving to America and becoming a US citizen. In this article we will touch on ways to obtain citizenship in the United States, namely:

1. Marriage to a US citizen. This is the fastest way to get citizenship. After marriage, you can apply, have an interview and then get a temporary green card for a period of 2 years. It is important to prove the seriousness and reality of marriage. Bogus marriages are severely punished. For example, the person may end up in jail or pay a hefty fine, while the other partner is deported. 3 months before the expiration of the temporary green card, you need to reapply, only for a green card for a period of 10 years. A year later, you can apply for citizenship.

2.    Residence in the country with a green card for 5 years. This is one of the most common methods. An important condition is to stay in the country for at least 6 months during the year and do this for 5 years. It is also important to have sufficient knowledge of the language in order to pass the test and communicate with the immigration representative.

3. Military service in the Armed Forces of the country.
To obtain citizenship in this way, a person must have lived in the United States for 5 years, be at least 18 years old, know English at a good level and serve for at least a year.

4. Birth in America. This method means that a child born in the US automatically acquires US citizenship at birth. When a child turns 18, they will be able to apply for family reunification, and their parents will also be able to obtain US citizenship.

Benefits of American Citizenship:

- Ability to vote in elections.

- Opportunity to travel to 174 countries without a visa.

However, it should be noted that in order to live comfortably in the United States, it is not necessary to obtain citizenship. Instead, you can use a green card, but in this case, you will not be able to vote, which is a big minus.
