India Now Second-Largest Source Country For New Citizens In US: Report
In a significant development, the United States has granted citizenship to 66,000 Indians in 2022, making them the second largest group to naturalize last year, trailing only behind Mexicans. According to the latest U.S. Congressional report, out of the total 969,380 foreigners who became U.S. citizens in the fiscal year 2022, Indians made up a substantial number. The U.S. Census Bureau notes that as of 2022, the U.S. population includes about 46 million immigrants, which constitutes nearly 14% of the total population. Remarkably, more than half of these immigrants, approximately 24.5 million, are now naturalized U.S. citizens. This reflects the ongoing appeal of the American dream among Indian nationals seeking better opportunities in the world's largest economy.
