You can become a U.S. citizen through naturalization, which typically involves being a lawful permanent resident for at least five years, passing a citizenship test, and demonstrating good moral character. Another way is through birthright citizenship, where individuals born on U.S. soil automatically receive citizenship. Additionally, citizenship can be acquired through parents, known as derivation or acquisition of citizenship, if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen at the time of the child’s birth.

An Indian cannot become a US citizen by marrying a US citizen. Not only Indians, but any other person from another country cannot become a US citizen just by marrying a US citizen. A US citizen can sponsor a Indian on an appropriate visa ( like K-1 visa) after which he/she can adjust their status to that of a permanent resident. After being a PR for 3 yrs, the Indian can then apply for US citizenship, if needed.

How can you become a us citizen at birth?

There are lots of ways. If at least one of the parents is a US citizen, they can go to the nearest US consulate/embassy and see if their children become citizens too. It's not always automatic- if one parent is a US citizen and one isn't, it becomes a little complicated. If both parents are US citizens, it's pretty much automatic. Otherwise, it generally involves moving to the US and doing something to become a citizen. For example, if a person moves here legally, lives here for a period of time (usually 5 years but sometimes 3, like if the person marries a US citizen), they can apply for "naturalization", where they'll become a citizen. Alternatively, the person can join the US military, and as part of their contract, become a citizen (it has to be written in the contract, unless the US is at war). Another way is through "derivative" citizenship. When a person naturalizes as a US citizen, if they have children who are under 18 when they naturalize, those children become US citizens too, assuming they meet a few minor requirements (such as having a "green card"). Since 1983, this also applies to adopted children. For children born prior to February 1983, derivative citizenship was a little more complicated- both parents had to naturalize (or the one who didn't had to be dead or divorced without custody), and adopted children couldn't apply. This isn't an all-inclusive list, but it's a quick list of the most common ways of going about it.


If a permanent green card marry a US citizen veteran do you automatic become us citizenship?

No, you do not.Marrying a US citizen never automatically makes you a citizen- however, it does speed up the process if you are trying to naturalize. Normally, a legal resident has to wait 5 years before they can apply for US citizenship; if a legal resident marries a US citizen, this is shortened to 3 years.
