Usa cityThe United States welcomed 818,500 new citizens in the fiscal year 2024, with Indians emerging as the second-largest group of naturalized individuals, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). A total of 49,700 Indian-origin individuals gained U.S. citizenship, accounting for 6.1% of all new citizens, trailing only behind Mexicans, who comprised 13.1%.

This surge in naturalizations underscores the expanding presence of the Indian-American community, now exceeding 4.4 million. Indian immigrants have made significant contributions across various fields, including technology, healthcare, and business. Remarkably, Indian-Americans now lead 25 of the largest 500 U.S. companies, a notable increase over the past decade.

The majority of these newly naturalized citizens have chosen to reside in states with well-established Indian communities. California, Texas, New Jersey, New York, and Illinois rank as the most popular destinations, offering robust job opportunities and vibrant cultural networks that continue to attract Indian immigrants.

To become U.S. citizens, applicants must fulfill several requirements, including holding a Green Card for at least five years, demonstrating English proficiency, passing a test on U.S. history and government, and taking the Oath of Allegiance. Naturalized citizens enjoy the same rights and privileges as native-born Americans, further integrating into the nation’s social and economic fabric.

The consistent upward trend in Indian naturalizations reflects the community’s strong commitment to the United States. As the second-largest group of new citizens, Indian-Americans are poised to play an increasingly vital role in shaping the nation’s future.

Their contributions, spanning across key sectors and industries, emphasize the importance of immigration in enriching American society and fostering its growth.Read more
