Obtaining U.S. citizenship is a complex process and varies depending on the applicant's nationality. Generally, citizens from Latin American countries find the process more accessible due to geographical proximity and the large Latino immigrant population in the U.S.

 

Additional factors that facilitate naturalization include reciprocity agreements between countries and specific programs that streamline the process for citizens from countries like Canada and Mexico.
