A Compulsory Step to Citizenship
August 21, 2014 by
Anyone who is born in the United States automatically becomes a US citizen.
However, if you weren’t born in the US but wish to become a US citizen, you may apply for citizenship through a process known as naturalization.
To become a naturalized citizen, there are many eligibility requirements and compulsory (see definition and hear pronunciation below) steps that must be completed.
For example, anyone who applies for citizenship must take a test to show his/her knowledge of US history and government.
Could you pass the test to become a US citizen? Check yourself at this link: http://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/quiz/learners/study-test/study-materials-civics-test/naturalization-self-test-1
