An individual may become a U.S. citizen either by birth or through naturalization. Generally speaking, if a person is born in the U.S.A or born to U.S. citizen parents, he or she automatically becomes a citizen of United States.
The benefits and rights associated with American citizenship are many. One of the most important benefits is that you are given the right to vote. You may also apply for federal jobs that offer high range salaries, good benefits, and job security. You may sponsor and bring your family members to the United States and you may obtain citizenship for your children born abroad. You may also travel abroad with a US passport.
If you were born outside United States to U.S. citizen parents then you may claim American citizenship through your parents. Your birth certificate that is registered in the U.S. Consulate is the proof of your citizenship. If you require further proof you may obtain a U.S.passport. In addition, your parents may file a petition to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship for you using Form N-600, Application for Certificate of Citizenship.
