U.S. Citizenship
The last step in your immigration journey
Congratulations on deciding to become a citizen of the United States of America! This is the last step in a long journey that you began when you first came to the United States, whether it was for education, work or simply to have a better way of life.
The nation's founders, who were immigrants like you, sought independence from Great Britain to have freedom of religion and speech as well as the right to assemble peacefully and to seek justice. You will be rewarded with all these rights and privileges that come with being a U.S. citizen if you:
- Swear allegiance to the United States;
- Support and defend the Constitution and its laws; and
- Serve the country when required.
