If you come to the United States as an immigrant, there are two steps to become a citizen. The first one is receiving a green card. This happens anywhere from 2-5 years after you arrive. You can leave the US and travel around the world with a green card, but it is not the safest way to go because it is a transitory document. In my travels as a youth, I had a few mishaps because some countries require you to have a visa with your green card, and others do not. The second major event comes after you take a citizenship test and go to an interview. New citizens attend a swearing-in ceremony, which is celebrated by friends and family and covered in local newspapers. The swearing-in is usually done by a judge or a United States senator.
