Need Legal Aid Help? Get Started

I am already a Permanent Resident ("green card" holder). Why should I become a U.S. Citizen?



There are several advantages to becoming a U.S. Citizen, including:

  • Ability to petition for your relatives (parents, siblings, married children) to get status in the United States
  • Ability to work for the U.S. government
  • Right to vote
  • Ability to spend more than six months a year outside the United States
