○ A person of foreign birth successfully completes the naturalization process.
○ Aperson marries someone who is already a U.S. citizen.

Answer 1

To become a citizen, one can do any of the following:

• A person is born in the United States. (This grants automatic citizenship.)
• A person of foreign birth is granted citizenship after living in the U.S. for five years. (This is typically part of the naturalization process.)
• A person of foreign birth successfully completes the naturalization process. (This involves meeting certain requirements and applying for citizenship.)
• A person marries someone who is already a U.S. citizen. (Marriage to a U.S. citizen can expedite the naturalization process, usually requiring three years of residency instead of five.)

So all options listed can apply.
