Introduction to applying for American citizenship:

According to the relevant laws of the United States, there are three main ways to obtain American citizenship:

1. Obtain American citizenship according to the principle of birthplace. According to the birthright principle, a person can acquire American citizenship as long as he is born in the United States, regardless of his parents' nationality. However, children born to families of foreign embassies and consulates in the United States cannot obtain American citizenship according to this principle.

2. automatically acquire American citizenship according to the principle of descent. That is, as long as American citizens have lived in the United States for 65,438+00 years, and among them, they have lived in the United States for 5 years after the age of 65,438+04, their children born in foreign countries also become American citizens at birth. Therefore, the original nationality of American citizens is actually a mixed principle, that is, the principle of birthplace and the principle of descent are adopted, and the principle of birthplace is the main one.

3. Obtaining American citizenship after applying for American citizenship for naturalization and other reasons is approved. Both of them are commonly referred to as native Americans, and both of them automatically acquire American citizenship because of their birth, that is, their original citizenship. But the United States is an immigrant country, with a large number of naturalized people, that is, foreign-born "Americans."

According to the relevant laws of the US Congress, the basic conditions for naturalization in the United States are: at least 65,438+08 years old, must be a non-enemy national and legally enter the United States, obtain permanent residency and live in the United States for more than 5 years, and live in a state for at least 6 months.
