What is the process by which a foreign citizen or national can become a U.S. citizen?
To become a U.S. citizen, a person can undergo a process called “naturalization” if he or she qualifies to do so. Naturalization gives a foreign national legal status as a new U.S. citizen. A qualified applicant must pass an exam which tests knowledge of the United States, demonstrate proficiency with the English language, and take an oath of loyalty.
