Are you an “Outstanding American” by Choice ?

Submitted by
Dayton Black  History Moviess

Immigrants who have become naturalized U.S citizens are now being encouraged to participate in a federal initiative that recognizes the significant contributions and achievements of natura


lized U.S. citizens.

The Outstanding American by Choice Initiative was established by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) specifically to recognize naturalized citizens who have made contributions through civic participation, professional achievement, and responsible citizenship. Recipients of this honor must have demonstrated their commitment to United States and to the common civic values that unite us all as Americans.

The initiative recognizes those who have made the decision to become an American by choice and highlights their contributions to this country. The goal of the initiative is we to inspire and encourage new immigrants and new citizens alike to participate in their communities and exercise the important rights and responsibilities that accompany U.S. citizenship.

To be eligible, you must:

1. Be a naturalized U.S. citizen;
2. Have exhibited leadership and outstanding achievements in at least one of the following categories: professional/business, culture and the arts, community service and civic participation, government service, military service, or overcoming adversity
