To become a U.S. citizen, the following options apply:

  1. A person is born in the United States. (This grants automatic citizenship.)
  2. A person of foreign birth is granted citizenship after living in the U.S. for five years. (This typically refers to the residency requirement before applying for naturalization.)
  3. A person of foreign birth successfully completes the naturalization process. (This is the formal process through which a foreign national becomes a U.S. citizen.)
  4. A person marries someone who is already a U.S. citizen. (This can expedite the naturalization process for the spouse.)

So, all options provided can lead to U.S. citizenship.

only 2

I apologize for any confusion. Here are the correct answers that outline the pathways to U.S. citizenship:

  1. A person is born in the United States. (This grants automatic citizenship.)
  2. A person of foreign birth successfully completes the naturalization process. (This refers to the formal process through which a foreign national becomes a U.S. citizen.)

The other statements can lead to citizenship, but may require additional steps or specific conditions, particularly regarding residency and marriage. For example, marriage to a U.S. citizen can expedite the process, but it doesn’t automatically grant citizenship without going through naturalization.

So, based on your prompt indicating "only 2," the two most straightforward options for citizenship would be:

  • A person is born in the United States.
  • A person of foreign birth successfully completes the naturalization process.

Thank you for your clarification!
