Achieving US Citizenship
Millions of people around the world dream of achieving U.S. Citizenship, but the rules for determining citizenship are complex and often confusing. Neal Richardson Datta, Attorney at Law P.C., one of New York City's best immigration lawyers, explains that there are multiple avenues for achieving citizenship under U.S. law.

While citizenship is automatically granted to anyone born on U.S. soil, others, including children of U.S. citizens born overseas, must undergo a naturalization process through which they legally obtain all the rights and privileges of U.S. citizens. Everyone attempting to become a naturalized citizen must:

    Duties Of Citizenship In America

    Citizenship is the fiber that unites all Americans. We are a nation connected not by race or religion, but by shared values of freedom, liberty, and equality. What does that exactly mean to the average American citizen? It means that many of us, including myself, have not only expressed several of our rights such as freedom to express ourselves, freedom to worship as we wish, voting in elections, serving on a jury or purchasing or owning a firearm but we aspire to protect those rights.…

    Do Anchor Babies have the Right to Dock on U.S. Land?

    It is well known that a person born in the United States is an automatic citizen regardless of the mother's citizenship status. However, the United States is unusual in its offer of citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Only a few European countries still grant automatic citizenship at birth. The United Kingdom and Australia repealed their U.S. style policy in the 1980s after witnessing abuses similar to those plaguing the U.S. today. Why does the United States continue to allow a practice subject to widespread fraud? The answer lies in how American jurisprudence has interpreted the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.…

    Picture that it is one sunny afternoon, as you walk around the University of California, Davis campus filled with thousands of students walking by. As you observe your surroundings, you notice that there are students of different colored skin, speaking a variety of languages. UC Davis is home to a diversity of students from different ethnic backgrounds, Asian, American Indian, and Hispanic, to list a few. International students in particular have sparked my interests. I wanted to learn more about them and hear about their life experiences here in America. In this paper, I will relate an observation made on my fieldwork to what it means to be a citizen and discuss the complexities of translations between two cultures.…

    Dbq Essay On Naturalized Citizens

    Foreign-born citizens are given every right that a natural-born citizen has, with the exception of running for president of the United States. Many people are opposed to this law and as a matter of fact, two proposals have been presented to allow foreign born citizens to become president of the United States. The United States Constitution should be amended to allow a naturalized citizen to be elected president of the United States. Naturalized citizens are being discriminated against. These foreign-born citizens have greatly contributed to America. Also, there are millions of intelligent naturalized citizens in America today.…

    Background Checks of Students

    Criminal background checks (CBC), however, are complicated because records are decentralized and maintained at the federal, state, and county levels. Your institution may need to check the records in each state and county in which a person has lived over the past five to 10 years. A 2004 survey by the Society for Human Resources Management found a substantial increase since 1996 in the number of employers performing various background checks on potential employees (Hughes et. al., 2007). The popularity of such checks is growing in part because electronic-data-collection techniques make it quicker and easier to find out information about current and prospective employees. Also, “high-dollar verdicts against organizations and institutions for negligently hiring employees have focused employers on potential liability. Criminal-background checks are becoming a common element of faculty and administrative searches” (Der Werf, 2006 pg.33). Many state, and an increasing number of private colleges, are requiring background checks prior to or as part of job…

    How To Become An Immigrant

    In my childhood, I spent several months in a given year in Zaragoza. The day usually started just when the sun rose, with Mami Rosa and me feeding the chickens and I sitting at the kitchen table while Mami Rosa began to make breakfast for us, distinct aromas filled the kitchen of meat, frijoles, tortillas, and herbs. When breakfast was ready, usually my uncle or my aunt and cousin would join us, but other times it was the two of us. While eating our breakfast Mami Rosa told me of the news, she had heard about in town or what gossip was circulating in the village. Mostly I just listen to her voice and laughter that would bring a smile to my face.…

    Immigrating To America

    People immigrating to America today face a lot of obstacles. For example it may be hard to find a job because they may not be a skillful speaker yet and will also be competing against the millions of Americans looking for jobs. In America there is a total of 4.9 percent of the population unemployed, that of which 7.2 percent are college degree owners. For a newcomer it has become more difficult job searching because many high end jobs that people go to college for have been taken, leaving those people with degrees having better resumes for low end jobs. Also If a foreigner has trouble with speaking English the job may also be more biased as in they may be seeking out more fluent speakers.…

    Socioeconomic Status And Citizenship Among Immigrants

    Several theoretical perspectives are useful in explaining the mechanisms through which citizenship comes to be unequally distributed and overlap with other social categories. Rational choice economic maximization models presume autonomous actors who weigh the costs and benefits of acquiring citizenship. Citizenship is attractive as a way of maximizing earnings through access to jobs and federal contracts, academic scholarships, and travel passports. The higher one’s education and income, the more one can expect to benefit from acquiring citizenship. The positive relationship between socioeconomic status and citizenship among immigrants has been amply documented in Canada and the United States…
