To become a citizen, there are several ways to achieve this. The correct answers are:
- A person is born in the United States: If someone is born on United States soil, they automatically become U.S. citizens.
- A person of foreign birth is granted citizenship after living in the U.S. for five years: This refers to the process of becoming a naturalized citizen. After living in the United States as a lawful permanent resident for at least five years, a person of foreign birth can apply for naturalization.
- A person of foreign birth successfully completes the naturalization process: This is another route to citizenship. Foreign-born individuals who meet certain requirements, such as being at least 18 years old, having resided in the United States for a specific period, possessing good moral character, and passing an English language and civics test, can apply for naturalization.
- A person marries someone who is already a U.S. citizen: Marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically grant citizenship, but it can provide a pathway to citizenship through a process known as "marriage-based visa petitions." After marrying a U.S. citizen and meeting other eligibility requirements, a foreign-born spouse can eventually become a U.S. citizen.
In summary, the correct answers are: a person born in the United States, a person of foreign birth granted citizenship through living in the US for five years, a person of foreign birth who successfully completes the naturalization process, and a person who marries a US citizen.
