Are You Eligible for Citizenship in the United States?

Becoming a lawful citizen of the United States can have its own set of difficulties. From first-hand experience, however, we know that achieving citizenship can be one of the most rewarding experiences. As a U.S. citizen, you will have the right to vote, apply for jobs, and in the future, sponsor other family members.

In order to apply for citizenship in the United States, you must demonstrate the following:

  • You are a lawful U.S. permanent resident
  • You are at least 18 years old
  • You have continuously resided in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident for at least 5 years (or 3 years if you are married to a U.S. citizen)
  • You have lived in the state where you will file for naturalization for at least 3 months
  • You will live in the U.S. from the date you file your naturalization application until the date you receive citizenship

In addition to these requirements, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may look for other requirements, including proof of good moral character. You will also be required to pass an examination that demonstrates a basic understanding of English language, in reading and writing, as well as a basic knowledge of the U.S. government history.

Benefits of U.S Citizenship

Every individual who applies for United States citizenship has his or her own personal reasons for wishing to become a citizen. It is undeniable that U.S. citizenship offers many advantages, both at home and abroad. Your immigration lawyer can help you navigate the complex legal system to achieve your dream of becoming a citizen and any other immigration service.

  • Financial Benefits

Being a U.S. citizen offers financial advantages. For example, as a citizen, you are eligible to apply for jobs with government agencies. You’ll also be granted access to public benefits. This is significant because a life-changing event that causes disability can happen at any time.

As a U.S. citizen, you will have access to invaluable safety net programs. Additionally, lawful permanent residents only have access to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for seven years.

  • Legal Benefits

As a naturalized U.S. citizen, you will never need to fear the possibility of deportation. When you swear allegiance to the United States, you promise to uphold its laws. However, if you have children, deportation may be a concern for you because kids and teenagers have a tendency to make reckless mistakes that may lead to their removal from the country. As a U.S. citizen, you and your children are protected from deportation.

Additionally, under most circumstances, children under the age of 18 automatically gain citizenship when you do. Other legal benefits include having the right to vote in elections and having the right to run for public office.

  • Family Benefits

Many naturalized U.S. citizens still have family members who live abroad. When you become a U.S. citizen, your family members will generally have priority to immigrate to the country.
