Citizenship and Naturalization
A foreign citizen or national can become a U.S. citizen through a process called naturalization. The privilege of citizenship requires allegiance to the United States. In return, a citizen is entitled to its protection. Many permanent residents choose to further formalize their relationship to the United States each year. They are motivated by loyalty and love of their adopted country, as well as an interest in the benefits they will receive as citizens. It makes sense to hire an attorney to help you with naturalization - the application must be completed correctly, and the applicant must pass two tests to be naturalized.
