Laws Govern
Citizenship and naturalization in the USA are primarily governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The INA outlines the requirements and procedures for acquiring U.S. citizenship through birth, derivation, and naturalization. Key criteria for naturalization include continuous residence, English proficiency, knowledge of U.S. history and government, and good moral character.
The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 simplifies citizenship for children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) manages the naturalization application process, conducts interviews, and administers the Oath of Allegiance. The INA also provides guidelines for revoking citizenship under specific circumstances.
