HR 6061 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to waive certain naturalization requirements for United States nationals, and for other purposes.

This bill, HR 6061, would allow U.S. nationals (primarily from American Samoa and other U.S. territories) to become U.S. citizens more easily by waiving specific naturalization requirements. It eliminates the need for language and civics tests, permits naturalization while remaining in U.S. territories (without moving to a state), and allows for reduced fees and waived in-person interviews. The change applies to those who have continuously resided in a territory since birth or serve in the military, addressing barriers to citizenship for security clearances and military service. This directly affects U.S. nationals seeking citizenship without requiring relocation, additional testing, or full fees.
