Naturalization is arguably the most powerful indicator of immigrants' integration because it represents immigrants' most significant step toward participating in the civic life of their new nation by becoming citizens.
Naturalized citizens in the United States have the same rights and obligations as native-born citizens, including the right to vote, access to government services, and employment in the public sector. They also have the right to sponsor the immigration of their immediate family members and are not deported.
Determine your eligibility to become a citizen of the United States. In general, if you are at least 18 years old and have been a permanent resident for at least 5 years (or 3 years if you are a minor), you may be eligible for naturalisation.
