The naturalization process in the United States may seem complicated, but with the right guidance, it’s simpler than you think. At Lorenzo Law Group/Immigration Lawyers, we explain each step so you know exactly what to expect.
Here is a summary of the process to obtain citizenship by naturalization:
U.S. Naturalization or Permanent Residency, What's the Difference?
Many people ask us whether it is better to stay with Permanent Residency or seek U.S. naturalization. The answer depends on your personal goals and your family or immigration situation. But in most cases, becoming a citizen is the best step.
Here’s the difference:
Permanent Residency (Green Card)
- Allows you to live and work in the U.S. legally
- You must renew your Green Card every 10 years
- You can't vote in federal elections
- If you spend a lot of time outside the country, you may lose your status
- You can be deported if you commit certain crimes
- You can only ask for certain family members (such as spouse or unmarried children)
Citizenship by Naturalization
- Your status is permanent and not renewed
- You can vote in all elections
- You can travel outside the country without the risk of losing your status
- You are protected from deportation
- You can ask for more relatives, such as parents, siblings, and others
- You can apply for more jobs, including government jobs
Do I have Restrictions on U.S. Citizenship by Naturalization?
Once you obtain your naturalized citizenship, you have virtually the same rights as a person born in the United States. However, there are some points that are good to know:
- You cannot transmit citizenship to your children if you do not meet certain requirements. For example, if your children are born outside the U.S. after your naturalization, they may require additional processing.
- You cannot be president or vice president of the country. Only people born in the United States can hold those two specific positions.
- If you obtained your citizenship through fraud, the government can take away your status. Therefore, it is very important that the process is honest and well done. We make sure everything is in order.
