Dear Customer,

We would like to inform you that The second case in which a person can obtain US citizenship is almost the opposite of the first case where a child born outside the United States is granted either to an American mother or to an American father or to both of them, but in this case one of parents must have lived in the United States before, and this child is given a document similar to the birth certificate from any US embassy or consulate abroad and at the same time is entitled to receive a US citizenship certificate or passport.

Procedures for obtaining citizenship:

The procedure for obtaining citizenship begins with a request to the Immigration and Naturalization Office of the Department of Homeland Security. The application is accompanied by a large number of papers and documents containing all evidence of your stay in the United States and non-violation of immigration laws and at the top of these documents is your commitment to pay US taxes during the three years preceding the date you apply.

The second step in the process of obtaining citizenship is related to the criminal history of the applicant for citizenship. The FBI report has become part of this procedure since the September 11 attacks. The applicant, according to a letter from the Immigration and Nationality Office to the local branch of the Office to conduct the criminal paper "Fisheh and Tshbeh", often occurring six months after the date of application.

The third step in the procedure for obtaining citizenship that is two or three months after the second step is the need to pass the basic information test on the history of the United States, as well as the basic knowledge of the English language. This part of the citizenship procedure has been criticized for introducing new amendments at the beginning of 2008 where many criticize the superficiality of the questions contained in the exam as well as their association with the American social reality. Among the most frequently asked questions are: "To what are the lines and stars in American science?" Or "Who is the first president of the United States?" ... etc

The fourth and last step in obtaining citizenship is an official ceremony, more than anything else: celebrating the oath of allegiance to the United States. Acceptance of citizenship and sometimes this procedure takes place on the same day as the information and language test and at other times the call to celebrate citizenship is called two weeks or a month after the date of action number three.
