As of June 15, 2022, the United States had welcomed 6,61,500 new citizens, with India being the second largest country of birth for naturalised American citizens in the first quarter after Mexico.
“Throughout our nation’s history, the promise of both life and liberty, as well as the freedom to pursue happiness, has drawn millions from all over the world to call America home,” said M Jaddou, Director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
The USCIS welcomed 855,000 new US citizens in Fiscal Year 2021. According to the USCIS, as of June 15, Fiscal Year 2022, the agency had welcomed 661,500 new US citizens and made significant progress in reducing our naturalisation pending queues.
