What do you know about naturalization?

Yes, I knew about the voting part but I had no idea about the scholarships. The colleges definitely should not do that since naturalization has nothing to do with how well they learn. They need to change that. But I do agree with the voting part, you shouldn't be able to vote because a citizen of a foreign country shouldn't be able to make decisions for another country.

I takes a few major things:\n\n    * a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States;\n    * residence in a particular USCIS District prior to filing;\n    * an ability to read, write, and speak English;\n    * a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government;\n    * good moral character;\n    * attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and,\n    * favorable disposition toward the United States. \n\nI became a citizen by means of my father.  The rules have changed I believe since I went through naturalization but I gained my citizenship by showing that my father resided in the US for a period of 7 years after he reached the age of 18.  This was easily done by procuring my father's college transcripts.  Apparently, it's a little easier now for children of Americans.  My father took the oath for me as I was under the age of 18 at the time but the only costs involved maybe amounted to $100.  I now have duel citizenship in Canada and the US.  If you do duel citizenship, you don't give one up when you're 18 btw. . .I'm a college graduate now and never have a received a call from the naturalization office telling me I had to give up any of my rights as a citizen of either country.  My mother is currently petitioning for citizenship and will be taking her test within the next few months.  The cost for hers is again, marginal at best but she's been here under a green card for a number of years and found it would be cheaper to get her citizenship than to continue to pay her greencard every 10 years.

People become American citizens automatically either by being born in America or to an American citizen (either mother or father). People not born citizens can also naturalize through a fairly lengthy process.\n\nThe president is required to be a natural citizen (aka born in America or to American citizens), but for all other offices, the person must merely be a citizen, no matter how they became that way.

Several years from now.  immigration comes to you home to check up on you to make sure it is a legitimate marriage.  they talk to your neighbors and many other things to be certain it is not a marriage for the sake of citizenship..

You'll have to clarify your question. Are you asking for a web site that shows HOW to obtain United States citizenship?

It takes at least 3 years, maybe more.  You must apply for citizenship; then the US government will check things like your criminal record, references you provide, and work or residence history.  If you are not deemed to be a danger to the USA or likely to go on the dole, then you can be granted citizenship.

The only prerequisite that you have to meet is to be a born or naturalized citizen. Other than that, there are MANY ways to be a "true American".

As you may gather from the lack of response so far, your question is not clear. What do really want to ask?\n\nYou are either a citizen of a country or not. You are a native of that country if you are born there or if you are born in another country of parents who are citizens of that country (usually). You are a "naturalized" citizen if, being a citizen of another country, you agree to a formal ceremony in which the new country recognizes you as a citizen. In some cases, you can have "dual citizenship," if a country still recognizes you as a citizen even if you have pledged allegiance to another through the formal ceremony.\n\nA country may also honor a person who has done something to help it by designating a person as an "honorary citizen."

There is a law stating what constitutes American citizenship.  If you are born of an American Parent(s) or born on US territory (including territories that are not states) you are automatically as US citizen.  If you immigrate, register, take the required courses in English and US History, pass the tests, pass medical exam, after 10 years you can be made a Naturalized citizen.  Naturalized citizens can not become President (unless there is a change in the Constitution).\n\nIt is difficult for many Americans to break up a family (ie send one or both parents home and allow the US child to stay, or deny the US Child by having the child go home with its parents.  I think it's time to change that law to only children born of US citizenS, not just one US citizen.  Children of one US citizen get a front place in line to immigrate legally.

You have to fill out an application to apply for citizenship. Then you'll have to take the test and pass it, and then the interview.

Depends on what citizenship you have

This is the form: http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/n-400.htm\n\nHere's the government's guide to the naturalization process:  http://uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/guide.htm\n\nYou must have resided continuously as a lawful permanent resident in the U.S. for at least 5 years prior to filing with no single absence from the United States of more than one year.

Naturalization is basically the only option you have to legitimately become a US citizen if neither of your parents had US citizenship. After approximately 5 years of living in the United States you can begin the naturalization process, which involves passing a test on history and government and literally writing one simple sentence in English.\n\nI suggest you read more on this at both Wikipedia and USCIS. (links below)\n\nGood luck!

Plus be warned that even applying for a foreign citizenship can result in your citizenship in being revoked.  The US operates with a don't ask don't tell, but losing your US citizenship and all the protections it affords (Social Security, gov't protections while abroad, etc.) is a big deal.
