HO W HARD IT S IT T O BE C OME A
USCITIZEN
Dreams are important, which is why parents never stop their
children from setting up wild goals. Even if a child wishes to become
a princess or visit another galaxy when they grow up, parents never
tell them that it is impossible. If children are stopped from dreaming
about the impossible, they will never be able to create the possible.
There was a time when the telephone was impossible, but our
ability to dream led to its creation. When kids grow up, they realize
that some dreams are not worth wasting their time on. But they
also figure out that even the achievable dreams require a lot of
effort from them. For instance, someone who wishes to become a
doctor will have to study hard for years. They will also have to work in the field to gain
experience to get better at their job. For many people, living in a different country is the
dream that they start pursuing from an early age.
BecomingaUSCitizen:
Whether it was always your dream to become a US citizen or you are moving there
because of the political situation of your homeland, you will find out pretty quickly that it
is not an easy process. Not only does it have many steps, but it also has many
limitations. The requirements of USCIS have only increased in recent years. The threat
of terrorism has made countries more conscious about who they give entry to their
territory. Many states around the world have made their immigration and citizenship
policies stricter. However, there are still many countries where people can immigrate to
easily. But sadly, for those who wish to become American citizens, the US isn’t one of
those countries. In fact, it is one of those countries that make it hardest for foreigners to
get their citizenship.

HowHardisit tobecomeaUSCitizen?
Just because something is difficult to accomplish does not mean it is impossible. The
easiest way to get over an obstacle is by learning all about it. When you know all the ways
in which something can go wrong, you can keep that from happening. You will have to
familiarize yourself with the process if you wish to get through it successfully. Reading
about the requirements of the USCIS can help you understand how hard is it to become
a US citizen. After that, you can make a plan about solving all of these issues. Here is
what you will have to do for your American citizenship:
• Get a Green Card:
It is almost impossible for people to get the green card if they are not related to a US citizen
or an employee of an American company. People who fall under these categories and
refu- gees can apply for a green card by filling the relevant form and submitting it to
USCIS. There is also a fee that applicants will have to pay with their application. Along
with their applica- tion, people have to submit their documents like a birth certificate.
However, these docu- ments must be translated into English accurately before they are
submitted to the USCIS. Applicants must find reliable linguistic experts for the
translation; otherwise, their docu- ments will not be accepted by the authorities.
The speed of the rest of the process will depend on how you get your green card. For
instance, if you got it through your spouse, who is an American citizen, you will get your
citizenship a lot quickly than others.
• Physical Presence:
You will have to stay in the US from three to five years after
getting your green card. This does not mean that people
cannot leave the US during this time. Howev-
er, they will have to show proof of their presence in
the US for at least 30 months. The requirement is
18 months for those who are married to an Amer-
ican citizen.

services.com
• English Skills:
Applicants must be able to read, write, and speak English fluently in order to be eligible for
US citizenship. Anyone submitting their application will have to go through a test to prove
that they can read and write English without any problems. Along with English, knowledge
of US history and government will also be tested. So, applicants must prepare
accordingly.
• Clean Criminal Record:
Another important requirement that people have to fulfill is to show their clean criminal
record. It is one of the requirements of USCIS that the applicants must have good moral
character, and that can be proven through the criminal record. Submitting any false infor-
mation for immigration is considered a crime and will make the applicant ineligible. This
is why everything must be accurate in the application, and no false information must be
shared with the authorities.
Although most of the requirements of USCIS seem pretty simple in nature, they can get
quite complicated in real life. There are a lot of layers of each requirement, which can
be difficult for people to get through. Many applicants spent hundreds of dollars on
getting the help of experts so they can go through this process easily. However, apart
from a few documents, they don’t really need the help of anyone. As long as they can
get accurate translations of their personal documents for the process from a qualified
expert, they won’t need the help of anyone else. Applicants can get through the rest of
the immigration process on their own. They will have to stay confident and calm and
provide accurate infor- mation in their application if they wish to get through the process
smoothly.
