- [x] citizenship by birth — Yes. People born in the U.S. (or born abroad to U.S. citizen parents under certain rules) are U.S. citizens at birth.
- [x] citizenship by naturalization — Yes. Foreign-born persons can become citizens after meeting residency, good moral character, English/civics and other requirements through the naturalization process.
- [ ] citizenship by residency — No. Mere residency (even lawful permanent residence/green card) is not citizenship; it is a step toward eligibility for naturalization.
- [ ] citizenship by employment — No. Employment alone does not create citizenship; some employment-based visas can lead to a green card and then to naturalization.
- [ ] citizenship by immigration — No as stated. Immigrating (becoming a lawful permanent resident) is not the same as citizenship, though it is a common route to later naturalization.
