Naturalization
Naturalization is the process by which a legal permanent resident obtains citizenship of the United States. This benefit grants definitive migratory security, the right to vote, the possibility of making broader family requests and freedom to travel or reside outside the country without restrictions. Becoming a citizen eliminates the risk of deportation and represents the last step in the migratory path, provided that the established legal requirements are met.
