US Citizenship grants foreign nationals the full rights and privileges of being a U.S. citizen, including voting and obtaining a U.S. passport. This status can be obtained through naturalization, often following a period of permanent residency. The process involves meeting eligibility requirements, passing a citizenship test, and taking an Oath of Allegiance. For detailed information on eligibility, the application process, and preparing for the citizenship test, explore our comprehensive guides.
