The United States clarifies the rules for foreigners seeking permanent residency

The United States clarifies the rules for foreigners seeking permanent residency in the country.
The parameters for evaluating whether a naturalization applicant satisfies the legal entrance requirement are made clearer by the new rule.


To make it clear that the burden of proof for a naturalization applicant to prove they have been admitted lawfully for permanent residence only applies to their initial admission as a lawful permanent resident (LPR) or adjustment to LPR status, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has published policy guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual.

A lawful permanent resident who satisfies the standards set forth by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is awarded U.S. citizenship through the process of naturalization.
