I am sorry to say that not everyone who come to visit can get a US citizenship. There are requirement clearly stated in the website: www.uscis.gov \nThe key is to be here as a permanent resident for 5 years or three years if you married to a US citizen and then you can apply for a citizenship. To be a permanent resident doesn't come easy but if you exel in sports or science, you are sponsored by a company, or if you get married to a permanent resident or a US citizen you may have a chance to become a permamnent resident ( a process that can take up to two years).\n\nGood luck, it is certainly a great country.

If you are an American citizen, you just have to apply for it with proof of your citizenship. The link below has a form to fill out. Take it to your nearest Social Security Administration office.

Become a certified interpreter. If a US citizen, work for the government.

You could try entering legally in the first place,and not just cheating the system.How would you make a good citizen if your first act is fraud?\nGetting a hang on proper English will get you far also.Assuming it's not your first language you are doing good.

It depends on your status now.  If you are illegal, you need to get a work visa.  First step: you need a US citizen sponsor--a relative, spouse, etc.--then hire an immigration lawyer to help you petition Homeland Security for permission to continue to the the next step, which is (for Mexicans) to live in a Mexican border town that has a US consul until that consul issues or Denys your work visa.  You might be there 3 to 8 months.  If you are here legally, you must get a green card, if you have a green card you have to wait a bit over four years to apply for citizenship.

I would suggest reading through the material @ the US Citizenship & Immigration  Services website: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=4f719c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=4f719c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

With the way the Government is getting, you might consider Citizenship a priority 1st!!! A lady where I work JUST TODAY showed off pictures of herself getting her CERTIFICATE of CITIZENSHIP recently...She was so proud!!!\n\nIt might make a difference on where you are from, your child might help or maybe if you find the right person, Marry them and that might help in proper citizenship!!! I would hate to hear of you being deported! Not that I know U (I don't)...\n\nGood luck in your choices and you twos LIFE!!!

You are entitled to US citizenship if he was naturalized before you were born.  Otherwise, you could have gotten a US immigrant visa if he petitioned for you, but the petition would have been automatically invalidated by his death.\n\nSorry.

apply for a change of status first and you can go to the nearest USCIS office near you, they can give you the information and the forms you need. There will be lots of paper works and documents required by the Immigration Office.

Thousands of people win every year.  You do not have to declare loyalty to an individual.  If you wish to take citizenship (which you can do 5 years after getting your Green Card) you will have to swear an Oath of Allegiance to the USA which includes declaring an attachment to the principles of the Constitution.  You must also agree to serve in the US Armed Forces (or do comparable civilian work) if asked.  \n\nWhether you take citizenship or not, you will have to register foir the draft (now called the Selective Service) if you are male and under 26 when you immigrate permanently.  You cannot get financial aid without registering or getting a letter from Selective Service to say you are not required to be registered.\n\nBasically, if you are to succeed in the USA, you really need to WANT to make a life in US society.  It is not easy.  I came from the UK five years ago and I am only now adjusting to how things are here.  It must be even more difficult for people from other countries.\n\nFinally, remember that the only official site for the DV lottery ends in .gov.  All others are commercial operations.  It costs nothing to enter the lottery.\n\nIf this truly is what you want, I wish you the best of luck.

I think some of us are already here, but, you look in the wrong places. If there is someone you know there probably ways. One may be to marry the person. IF, he can get a job, that may help with obtaining a VISA or Green-card, which is a good first step toward Citizenship. You can sponsor him also, that helps a lot. Just so the Government knows he have a place to stay and friends. Good Luck.

If you are an American national then I defer to imisidro as this comprehensive statement seems to blanket the U.S.A. disposition regarding grants (I'm confident that they would want you to verify this yourself through the government offices of whatever state you live in or if federally administered then that source). If, however you live in my wonderful socialist leaning nation of Canada there's grants galore, of course you still have to qualify for them. It is worthy of note that you don't have to be a citizen of the great white north to qualify, you have to be a resident; we are delighted to share our resources with anyone from anywhere if your plans are for the betterment of society, the arts, science, education, as well as a most wonderful grant system for small businesses where you get to keep money earned as well as the funds transferred to you from our government that allow you to survive those early days( also check out our free health care system and subsidized higher education). I for one would be pleased to see American nationals enjoy the benefits we provide as it is unlikely that we could do this if we had to protect ourselves with a standing army, which your esteemed nation does inspite of our reluctance to field the same level of commitment, and I hope my fellow citizens would extend to you a most warm welcome. I will elaborate further if you post an amendment to your question expressing interest, else wise good luck in your endeavors what ever they may be.update4apl/3:15P.M.OntarioG.T.A. Bon, moi ami; the site you could begin with is www.cbsc.org then check out www.edgelow.org, and www.canadaone.com   If your in my province I can email that icon thingy of yours some human contacts for the G.T.A.  good luck and go get them tiger!!
