What does a naturalized or derived citizen mean?

A naturalized citizen is an individual who gets U.S. citizenship after they have applied for and met the naturalization requirements, which is after they have had a green card for many years. On the other hand, a derived citizen is an individual who automatically becomes a U.S. citizen through their parents.

What is the difference between naturalization and derivation?

Derived citizenship only applies to children under 18 who are lawful permanent residents (green card holders) and in the legal/physical custody of a U.S. citizen parent. Those over 18 must apply for naturalization independently.

How do I answer citizenship status?

Are you a United States (US) citizen by birth, or were you born abroad to parents of whom at least one was a US citizen at the time of your birth, or are you a US National? If Yes, check the box marked US Citizen.

What are the 4 types of citizenship?

These are: by birth, by descent, by naturalization, and by marriage. These core categories form the foundation for how most individuals acquire their legal status within a nation. So, how many types of citizenship are there?

What does it mean if you are a naturalized citizen?

Naturalization is the process by which a non-citizen can become a citizen after meeting specific legal requirements, such as residency, language proficiency, and passing a citizenship test. So, while naturalization leads to citizenship, it is the process of acquiring it rather than the status itself.

What is naturalization through military?

If you are serving or have served in the U.S. armed forces and are interested in becoming a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization under special provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
