This page explains how to become a citizen of the United States. Mr. Shusterman served an INS Attorney in the Citizenship Branch between 1976 and 1980. Lawful permanent residents may apply for naturalization. We provide dozens of articles and links explaining who is eligible for naturalization as well as the application procedures, including an online, self-correcting history and government examination. Other persons may obtain U.S. citizenship at birth or while they are minors through their parents or grandparents. It is also possible to have your naturalization revoked. Finally, we link to articles regarding who is eligible to be a "dual" citizen, a citizen of more than one country.
