If you and your children are permanent residents – you all have green cards, here’s your number one reason to naturalize and become a U.S. citizen:

Here you go –

You have to study. Yes.

You have to pay a fee. Yes.

You have to speak English well enough to pass. Yes.

But if you do that, and if you pass, and if you become a U.S. citizen . . . and you have children living with you in the United States, under the age of 18, who are also “green card” holders, they automatically become U.S. citizens. No charge for the children!! No test for the children!!

Besides the savings, you will have the peace of mind to know that when your children turn 18, they will already be a U.S. citizen, with no chance of being deported. What other reason do you need to naturalize?
