Citizenship and Naturalization

The federal agency responsible for citizenship and naturalization is the US Citizenship and Immigration Services agency.  Usually the first step in the citizenship and naturalization process is to acquire a permanent residency card (green card).  For information about naturalization and citizenship contact an immigration attorney or a US Embassy or Consulate if outside of the US.
