There are many ways to obtain citizenship in the United States. Citizenship is automatically granted if the individual was born in the U.S. or its possessions, or if the individual was born outside the United States to citizen parents. However, the laws of US citizenship at birth are very complex, and are changed periodically by Congress.

Most individuals seeking citizenship are interested in naturalization, which carries all the rights, duties, and privileges of citizenship obtained by birth in the US, including the right to vote.

If you're a lawful, temporary US resident under either the amnesty legalization program or the Special Agricultural Workers Program, you may be eligible to apply for lawful, permanent citizenship.

For more information, please contact an immigration attorney in your area.
