What is Naturalization?
People who are natives of other countries and want to become U.S. citizens must go through a process called naturalization.
The naturalization process is complicated. Many U.S. immigration laws can apply to an individual, based on circumstances surrounding the person’s stay in the United States and whether he or she complied with laws regulating visas and permanent residency. Since the passage of immigration laws in 1996 and also wide sweeping changes in immigration after 9/11, legal enforcement of immigration rules and regulations stiffened. A stricter approach to immigration makes it even more important for immigrants to seek legal help when seeking U.S. citizenship through naturalization.
