Becoming a United States citizen is a goal for many people who come to this country. A lawful permanent resident (green card holder) is eligible to apply for Naturalization in either three or five years depending on how they obtained their green card, or if they are in the U.S. Armed Forces

Deciding to become a U.S. citizen is one of the most important decisions an immigrant can make. Depending on your situation, there may be different ways to obtain citizenship. 

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a lawful permanent resident after meeting the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

Acquisition of citizenship is obtained through U.S. citizenship parents either at birth or after birth, but before the age of 18.

Depending on your situation, there may be other requirements that you must fulfill.
