DISCLAIMER (Of course, I'd have one 😁)
Hey, you might think that this info makes me your lawyer, but it doesn’t and I’m not. Sorry, but I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER unless we have an engagement agreement. I am just providing public information here, like a library does, and am not providing you with legal advice about your situation. So, it would be totally unreasonable for you to conclude we have an attorney-client relationship just because you're viewing this information.
If you like America like this video, if you don't tell us why below! Also how many of those real questions from the citizenship test did you get right?
You made an error citizenship can be taken away if you commit treason!
All but one, it was the one that asked what the first three words of the Constitution of the United States is. To be fair, I couldn't tell you the first three words of any document.

I only failed in the fact that it is an amendment
@@curtisevans8413We the people
why am I watching this when I’m already an American citizen
Same here, but I have a friend who is not a American citizen, so this video may help her or her friends.
Hahhahaha I laughed too hard at your comment. Thank you
You just want to double down on the freedom subscription.
@@andre-gr9gn if you help him/her he will get their information stolen
We all are
I have dual Japanese and Italian citizenship. There’s a legal loophole in Japan that when you become an adult and Japan asks you if you want to keep the Japanese citizenship or not, you just say “I haven’t decided yet”. You keep saying that every time they ask, and they’re legally not allowed to deny you citizenship.
WE LOVE LEGAL LOOPHOLES!
lol... that is f-ing smart 🤣
I mean, they can’t just deny you citizenship cuz thats illegal
70 years later. “Man this dude taking his sweet time to decide.”
Interesting!
Better Help is being sued for lack of transparency around selling personal information and for illegally selling medical information. I'd look for a different sponsor. I wish their service was all sunshine and rainbows. I'm sure that the people that make it work genuinely want to bring mental well-being to the masses.
Omg 😱 I used them for a few weeks earlier on this year, then cancelled my subscription 🤷🏾♀️
Not surprised. So much sponsored stuff is shady. Pretty sad tho considering it's a paid service
I skip in video ads. just move to the end of them
Yes lol, corruption too
@@victorlinares4137I know right? There’s a reason many of them resort to sponsorships-when you have no credibility as a company, where better to fake credibility than from your customers’ favorite KZheadrs?
1. You were born here. 2:31 2. Acquisition from both parents. 3:03 3. Acquisition from one parent. 3:30 4.

Citizenship through naturalization. 8:50 📌 Also possible via: 9:40 - Married a U.S citizen. - Served in military [war time service might skip the process.] - Green card holder for at least 5yr. Important: - Civic test is required. - Don’t lie on immigration papers. - Don’t commit marriage fraud.
thanks up
Wow thanks
Driving a Honda Civic gets you citizenship? That's cool
Marry me amo
Same With Canadian And Australian (Aussie) Citizenship
From what I understand, the challenge is not becoming a US citizen but rather a permanent resident.
yea seems like it.
A us citizen has the rights of a permanent resident. Just become a us citizen and you will be a permanent resident
Yeah it's crazy hard to get a green card. My brother have been living in the US for 9 years and still don't have it
I'm so relieved to find out i'm actually already a citizen. I also am from New Mexico! I was worried because all of this seemed like such a hassle.
Whoa! Whoa! Slow down there, Maestro! There's a NEW Mexico?!
@@swistedfilmsmexico 2

@@Marko_184 there is m new uork and n new jeresy and new hampshire but no new Alambama
Me too. Congrats you’re a citizen, but no congrats you’re in New Mexico
Jury Duty is amazing, my history teacher was out for like a month and a half because she had jury duty for a murder case or something. We didn't do anything for the entire time because the long term sub was like 85 or something. Jury Duty is amazing, they should make teachers do it more
Sadly, in most states, teachers are often let off the hook for jury duty specifically because of their job.
@@emperortransman I’m in California, the teacher specifically told us that they wouldn’t let her reschedule or anything lol
I wish, then I can take a vacation from working with children and instead work with childish adults.
@@andreyokunev9858 I wouldn't be surprised if sometimes states gave teachers jury duty specifically because we can't skip it without risk to our job
Last time I had Jury duty I got repaid for my time in jury duty at my full time job, but I lost out on the part time money I was gonna make. Uncle Sam you owe me 501.76 for that part time shift I missed.
That machine gun joke actually hit hard
He's not joking... You legitimately can't own a bald eagle in the US, and you also can own a machine gun, albeit with a lot of exemptions - the machine gun in question must have been manufactured before 1986, you must file a Form IV with the ATF, you must turn over your fingerprints, you must pass an in depth background check, not just the NICS, you must also get the gun transferred through an FFL.
If it didn't, it would just be a submachine gun.
Afghanistan go hard 🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯
@@pompomaddonsYou can own a machine gun in Afghanistan..but you can’t be gay. So you take the good with the bad I guess 😂
@@curtisevans8413 Whoosh! That was the joke. He was mocking our gun laws just like the good little liberal that he is. I’m sure he’s extremely pleased with himself on educating people on how to gain American citizenship.
Mike is the best educational law channel out there. No overwhelming voice, no dead memes. Just fun
I agree with you, but idk about the memes. Idc about them being dead or something, it doesnt matter. If the memes are good / they have a point, I am ok with them. This is another social trend, deciding that meme is dead and than theoreticaly "being allowed" do bully others for using "dead" memes.
Even lawyers have to do jury duty? Is that even allowed? 😱
Yes everyone is required to serve
They have to show up when summoned, but they will never let lawyers or even law school students serve because of their legal training. Super secret stuff like Jurry Nullification 😉
A lawyer can be selected for jury duty but they'll most likely be excluded from an actual jury during voir dire.
Lawyers are also citizens 😂
I don't think I will have a Jury duty even tho I was born in American
my mom is an immigrant and she gets summoned for jury duty very often. she's a citizen now, but there were a couple times that she got summoned before she was even a citizen, when she had a green card. she had to go in and tell them that she wasn't actually a citizen and couldn't participate lol
both my parents aren't citizens and the same happens to them too, but thankfully it seems it's easier now, since I can just email the jury office and tell them they're not citizens instead of having to go there. But it's really weird how they put the names of non citizens in the selection pool even though theyre not even allowed to go in the first place

There's a disturbing number of Americans that don't know New Mexico is a state in the US. My nieces used to live there...
I love there now and when I tell people I’m from here they always say “ your engles is so good!” 💀
Agreed! Disturbing too how many believe D.C. is in Washington State!!😂
My dad became an American citizen after joining the Army National Guard when he was 17. Previously he moved from Egypt when he was 4.
I've helped process many of my Sailors for expedited citizenship. Eight from the Philippines, one from Kenya.
@@kennethmiller2333Hi, 7:53 is it correct that joining the military can get you a green card? I thought you had to have at least LPR (Green Card) status before being enlisted, so it's definitely surprising hearing this from Mike, please let me know!
@@kral3046 It can. This has to be done through the embassy in the person's home country. It's not easy, though. If you just drop in on a recruiter as an illegal alien, or are just here on a visitor's visa, I'm pretty sure the recruiter will turn you away.
@@kennethmiller2333 Wow, that sounds super interesting! Looking through USCIS website, i couldn't find anything about this. (except Naturalization by military service, which assumes you have LPR status established beforehand) Do you have any offical sources that you can point me to? Thank you very much.
@@kral3046 I don't have anything. I focus on keeping helicopters in the sky. I have had one of my Sailors come through that route, though.
Venezuelans taking notes
You know America is going through a lot now. But I still love this great country. Hopefully we stay fully free. Your video hits the nail on the head
This is why you need to pledge to vote Trump to make America great again and throw immigrants out of your country.😂
Objection! Citizenship can be taken away if you commit treason!
amazing and hilarious video once again. not even planning on moving to the us but this is just fantastic s tier content. thanks mike for making my day once again xdd
Thank you for the support! Share this video with anyone you think would enjoy it!
Better to have this information in your back pocket than to try to figure it out on the fly when you're already here.
Not breaking but bending the law is the most lawyer thing ever
Informative and funny! Thanks Law by Mike! ⚖️
Sir, I declare you a citizen of the United States. Me : oh yeah..."I invoke the 5th !"
Great plain language video! Breaking it down to basics is always refreshing!
For me, I got American Citizenship because my father was an American Citizen when I was born in Asia to an Asian mother. Never set foot on American soil once. I am a dual citizen :>
This coming after I did a color guard at a Naturalization Ceremony yesterday… KZhead is scary.
This man makes learning laws fun.
Thanks Law By Mike! I didn't get all those answers correct so I've got some studying to do too!
“You will have to wait 60-90 days” Damn, and Anya’s 69 was rejected 😢
Free entry into Walmart!? WOW! I'm sold! Sign me up! Okay. I was born here in the USA, but still.., Walmart! Home of odd customers, great prices AND.., Free trips to their Restrooms!
Wait...using the restrooms is for free? Ok, where can I sign?
I’m already American and I don’t know any who isn’t a citizen 😂

Really? You don't know ONE non-citizen?🤨🧐 I find that shit hard to believe. Frickin liar.🙄
@seanluzdeluna8153 if you live somewhere like nevada or Wisconsin there's probably like zero undocumented immigrants
Ive never been to the USA, so Im NOT a Citizen.
I'm not an American citizen but I do wish to become one someday, and besides the first question (which I didn't get simply because I literally didn't understand it), I got them all right. Obviously this test is just a little taste and even getting a perfect score wouldn't have gotten me any closer to being a citizen, but it still made me feel good to do that good
Why do you want to go there? Seems like a bad idea with all the guns, violence, high medical spending, low amount of time off from work and other issues.
@@beanmasterzThat is the first world privilege take.
@@thefutureisnowoldman7653 yeah,aybe cause I come from a first world country, how would I have any other perspective?
@@beanmasterzBecause others have it worse. Believe it or not, immigrating to the US *does* often lead to a better life than living in a third world country.
what's wrong with guns? And what violence? Major US cities have lower crime rates than European cities, that is a fact. Americans spend less per capita on healthcare than the Swiss, the Icelanders, etc. And Americans don't accept the time off they're given anyway so that's moot@@beanmasterz
Very excellent video and it is very useful to me since I am just about to start the Naturalization process so wish me luck
The fact that a guy known for making short 30 second videos has made a video about how to become a citizen in the US and it's almost 15 minutes long is so incredibly ironic 😂
I am a white South African, I wanted to move to the USA since a very young age. South Africa is falling and I want to get away. I want to live the American dream. Thank you for this helpful video 😊
Well, I’m sure we’d be happy to have you. We certainly wouldn’t try to kill you. I suggest somewhere in New England or the Mid-West
Come bro. SA is horrible compared to US
@@coastalorphan As bad as California is, no one gets murdered for being white here
Don't come to the USA go to a better country like Canada, Finland, switzerland, Germany
@@SupremeJarJar Really, the country that gives standing ovations to Nazi’s and arrests people for reading the Bible in public (Canada) is better than America?
Thank you for making this informative video ❤
Thanks for these tips.
Mike it would be interesting if you could make a video on stateless (having no citizenship).
I concur
Same, I just fled to the US by boat with no papers and legal status. I really want to know
Citizenship _can_ be taken away if even a tiny inaccuracy is found in USCIS applications after citizenship is already granted.
What is USCIS application?
@@jiesangthe documents you provide to the government when applying for a visa or citizenship. US Citizenship and Immigration Services
@@NateJGardner Oh Thanks
if you lie on your application to renounce citizenship, do they forcefully give it back?
Mike.. Keep educating us. You are a beast!
Oye Lawbymike, tu tip? funcionó a la perfección
I am not a citizen but I have a greencard. I want to keep it as long as possible to avoid that income tax when I'm out
I was once a green card holder but I became a citizen not knowing about the tax law. Man I’ve regretted it ever since I found out!!!
1:52 Nepal too 🇳🇵
Waiting for the bad tenant video. Keep up the good work!
Mike thanks for the video, I only have one question. I am planning to do me surgical residency in USA and then to stay there to continue practicing medicine as a certified surgeon . Is it possible for foreigner medical personnel to get the citizenship in USA by living there for at least 5 years
Thanks I am an Indian , looking forward to finishing up school here then going to US for college then hopefully gettin a permanent citizenship
The best thing about jury duty is jury nullification.
Mike we need a full video of the house of Jeff, needs to be recognized
As a us citizen, I can confirm I got none of the questions right.
The thing is when you are applying for citizenship you are working within the system when you can just invade the country like the pilgrims did from England and establish your own legal system.
sucks when the past comes to bite
I’m faster than the law!
Gracias, mi amigo
awesome sauce
Moving to America is one of my 3 main goals in life 😊 I hope to one day live in the U.S.

@@eggrollsoup not to me, if I’ll go there I’ll never move back to Europe.
@@Donuts_random_stuffyou’ve watched too much media
Hi, great content. Just had a correction on the "acquisition" way to citizenship. Both parents do not have to be US citizens as long as one of the parents has lived in the US for a total of 5 years (three years before the age of 16 and two years after the age of 16) prior to the child's birth. Keep up the amazing work!
Awesome presentation
Thank you Mike.
18 years is the average length of time it takes to legally get your papers
That depends. If you marry an American its much less. If you are afianceed to an American you can come in on a fiance visa.
@@radagast25a so again it take ON AVERAGE 18 years
@@startsomewhere5467average way is marriage
@@startsomewhere5467 not all methods are equal though, some will get you in really fast and some will take forever, so maybe on average 18 years but some people will wait only months and some will wait for 30 years just depending on what method they are using for entry to the US
I believe I'm bending laws lol
I have a question @LawByMike. Is there any way to get a copyrighted song from someone without their permission and use it without having to pay copyright?
7:42 mike was going for that "it's totally cool"
I actually wonder how many citizens can pass the test
they should spontaneously summon you to take a civics test and if you fail twice in a row you get your citizenship revoked and become stateless and deported to canada or something.
America f YEAH (Why me saying it? I'm German?!)
There are some taxation differences between being a US resident and US citizen, mostly related to Estate taxes
As a child I always wanted to become an american citizen, (I'm german). But after growing up here, seeing the benefits that I have and how easy life can be, in terms of taxing and social justice, which is not perfect, but better, I am happy that I'm not an american. Especially now, as an adult, I'm happy not to have to worry about gun crime, a 2 party political system, how to pay my medical bills and the lack of trust in the government.
Me who is American but watching this anyways 😂
I would love to live in the U.S, but since I'm from Germany, I could never live somewhere, without free healthcare, education and fair unemployment benefits. Maybe snow mexico, I mean Canada 😅
why would you want to live in the US if you already live in a place like Germany? Just curious
@@eggrollsoup I know somebody moving from Germany to the US because of the higher pay. He makes around 80k USD in Germany but could be making 200k USD in the US. Also heard of many people from other European countries and Canada doing this, most common professions moving for higher pay seem to be people working in healthcare and people working in software and IT.
@@eggrollsoupthe economy can be one of the biggest reasons.
This is very helpful for beginners especially filipinos like me who have planning to travel to United States.
Can you do a video explain more about a way to get a Green Card? It’s pretty much the hardest process so far.
Hi

Why do the parents need to be married for a child that is 100% the responsibility of Americans to be American? This is one of the dumbest, heartless policies I've ever heard. And I watch the news daiily.
To mitigate abuse of the system. A woman could sleep with a brit, never see him again, have a kid, and claim the father was American. If the couple is married, you have a paper trail.
Thank you!

I have a genuine question. This is true for pretty much every country in the world, certain rights can only be enjoyed by citizens of that country. Whatever legal framework or principles that country has. But what about tourists? I'm British and have visited the US many times and because I'm such a good boy, I've not been in trouble. What protections encoded in the US Constitution and its amendments apply to non US citizens whilst visiting the USA?
I was wondering if you could help me with this i live in michigan and i want to get a pair of handcuffs for my collection and i know i cant use them or carry them but can i own them. Thank you
New Mexico lol, that had me laughing
As a Dutch person who will never move to Amerika, here are my reasons: healthcare, healthcare should be affordable to everyone so no one is scared to go to the doctor ofc it shouldn’t be free but it also shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. Infrastructure: the infrastructure in the us is kinda bad (at least form what I have seen) you can’t bike anywhere you want and you can’t walk anywhere you want with a little safety. Here in the Netherlands I can walk and bike wherever I want. I don’t need a car to go to the supermarket I can just walk there in safety. Guns: ok I get it everyone has the right to bear arms in the us but also in the Swiss, in the Swiss you need to server in the military and go through extensive training to even get a weapon and if you fail to go through that you can go to a shooting range and shoot, the us don’t have all these regulations and that makes me scared that almost every person can shoot when they want without proper training. Culture: I like tasting diffrent cultures and you don’t get that in the us it’s just a giant piece of land that’s ruled by English and the same style of architecture. Here in Europe if I go over the border it’s another language another foods and just a diffrent feel. Food safety: i can’t even get most foods from the us into Europe, this is bc Europe has more regulated safety when it comes to food. I’m allergic to most pesticides they use in the us and those same pesticides are banned in Europe.
