X
Inspite of some tough rules passed by the Trump Administration, Percentage of Indians obtaining US Citizenship has increased by 10 percent during the financial year 2017-18. As many as 50,802 Indian-origin people became US Citizens last year.

Mexico managed to attain the Top Spot with it's country people attaining 14 percent growth (15,009) in US Citizenship quota. India holds second position with 10 percent growth (4,614).

Donald Trump wishes to limit the number of Immigrants obtaining US Citizenship to 30,000 by next year. This move could ruin the hopes of people aspiring for the Green Card. The last time an US President had placed such a lowest ceiling was in 1980 (45,000 cap).

7 lakh Individuals were granted US Citizenship during the fiscal year 2017 (Oct 1st 2016 to Sept 30th 2017), of which Indians constituted 7 percent.
