Final answer:

If you are not born in the United States, you can become a U.S. citizen through a legal process known as naturalization.


Step-by-step explanation:

If you are not born in the United States, you can become a U.S. citizen through a process called naturalization. Naturalization is the legal process by which a foreign-born individual becomes a citizen of a country. In the United States, the requirements for naturalization include being at least 18 years old, having lawful permanent residency (a green card) for at least 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), having good moral character, passing a citizenship test, and demonstrating knowledge of the English language and U.S. government.

An example of this process is when someone from another country moves to the United States and lives there for a certain period of time with the necessary visa or permanent residency. If they meet all the requirements, they can apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization.
