There are two primary sources of citizenship: birthright citizenship, in which a person is presumed to be a citizen provided that he or she is born within the territorial limits of the United States, or other circumstances existing at the time of their birth and naturalization, a process in which an immigrant applies for citizenship and is accepted.
How do I know if I meet the requirements to be considered for
If you are married to a US citizen you can generally apply three years from the date your permanent resident status was granted. If you are not married to a US citizen then often you must wait 5 years from the date your permanent resident status was granted. Certain people even qualify to take the naturalization exam in their native language or be exempt from taking it all together.
