Naturalization and Claims to U.S. Citizenship

Naturalization
Naturalization is the process by which the United States awards citizenship to foreign nationals after they fulfill the requirements established by the United States Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
Typical requirements for administrative naturalization include:
- A period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States
- Residence in a particular state prior to filing
- The ability to read, write, and speak English
- A knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government
- Good moral character
- Attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution
- Favorable disposition toward the United States
