What is the difference between becoming a citizen verses being naturalized?
Answer:
Naturalization is the name for the process by which someone who is not a citizen by birth becomes a citizen. They're different names for the same thing.
There isn't one. If you aren't born a citizen, you have to naturalize as one.
For immigration purposes, you become a citizen if you are born here in the US. You become a naturalized citizen if you are not born here in the US and go through the proper channels to become a citizen.
Offen times, the terms gets interchanged.
Naturalized means you become a citien because you were not born a citizen.
Hope this helps.
