What does it mean to be a citizen? What is the link between citizenship and immigration policies? This presentation explores the topic of U.S. citizenship, beginning with what it means to be a citizen and the benefits of citizenship. The presentation covers the different ways people become U.S. citizens, including the process of immigration to the U.S., the ways in which people obtain Lawful Permanent Status prior to naturalization, and the naturalization process.
