All
persons born or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of
the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United
States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor
deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws. - xiv amendment to the U.S.
constitution
Citizenship is the most important immigration benefit
that USCIS can grant. Most people become U.S.
citizens in one of two ways:
- By birth, either within
the territory of the United States or to U.S. citizen
parents, or
- By naturalization.
In addition,
in 2000, congress passed the child citizenship act (cca),
which allows any child under the age of 18 who is adopted
by a U.S. citizen and immigrates to the United States
to acquire immediate citizenship.
