There are many benefits to finishing the naturalization process and becoming a U.S. citizen. You cannot be deported to your former country of citizenship after naturalization, and you can travel freely to over 180 countries with a United States passport. You can obtain federal benefits offered only to U.S. citizens, and you can apply for visas for family members to sponsor their move to the U.S. As a citizen, you can vote, apply for jobs freely, and even run for elected office if you choose.
Not everyone qualifies for U.S. citizenship simply because they submit the application and request it. In order to be eligible for the process of naturalization, the following requirements must be met:
