There are two primary ways to become a legal citizen of the United States.
The first way is through your parents.
Children of U.S. citizens are generally granted citizenship, as are the children of parents who become citizens before the children turn 18 years old.
The other primary path to citizenship is a process called naturalization.
Through naturalization, a foreign national may be able to obtain U.S. citizenship, along with all of the rights and responsibilities associated with being a legal citizen.
