Citizenship & Naturalization

There are different paths for an immigrant to take towards citizenship. The most common path is called naturalization- to first obtain a green card and then to wait either three or five years, depending your circumstances.^[1] Or, if you are a member of the U.S. Army you may be eligible for citizenship without having to meet all of the standard requirements.

• Right to vote in local and national elections;
• Reenter the United States without being sent to deferred or secondary inspection for immigration issues;
• Leave the United States for long or indefinite periods of time;
• Maintain lawful status regardless of criminal activity;
• Travel to most countries without a visa.
