Deciding to become a U.S. citizen is one of the most important decisions an immigrant can make and among the most rewarding experiences for a U.S. immigration attorney is to see a client win American citizenship. U.S. citizenship is a legal status, which endows certain rights, protections, duties, and benefits to individuals within the United States. A U.S. citizen is defined in multiple ways. According to federal law, 42 USC § 9102(18), a United States citizen means any person that acquires citizenship by law, birth, or naturalization. The 14^th Amendment of the United States further supports this definition by stating all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the U.S. and state where they reside.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) also grants citizenship status through a process called naturalization, for lawful permanent residents who meet certain requirements set forth by federal law as well as by the state in which you are applying.
