When we are born, it assumed that the country we are born in is our home country. But there are some events that could alter this. In cases where a child was born abroad, his or her parents will likely have to take steps to establish U.S. citizenship. In other cases, an individual seeks to marry a U.S. citizen, causing them to enter the path towards citizenship. Finally, some foreign nationals seek a fresh start. Whether it is to escape persecution or obtain academic or work opportunities, some immigrants seek citizenship because they want to call America their new home.
