Benefits of US Citizenship

 

There are several benefits to United States citizenship. Residing in the United States as a citizen means: 

​

• Voting in US elections 

• Travel without worrying about losing citizenship benefits 

• Passing down US citizenship to children 

• Working in positions reserved for US citizens 

• Violation of certain laws will not result in deportation 

• No need to renew green card status or reapply for work authorization 

 

In addition, tax obligations for green card holders and US citizens are the same. Therefore, it makes more sense to make the transition to citizenship.
