Indian Americans Among Biggest Gainers in Higher Naturalization Rates Among U.S. Immigrants
This is a bigger increase than for U.S. immigrants overall, among whom naturalization rates jumped from 62 percent in 2005 to 67 percent in 2015, Pew said.
A recently released study by the Pew Research Center has revealed that the naturalization rate among U.S. immigrants is up since 2005, with Indian Americans among the biggest gainers.
The study looked at naturalization rates among immigrant groups in the U.S. from 2005 to 2015.
The percentage of Indian immigrants who were eligible for U.S. citizenship who have become naturalized citizens went up 12 points from 2005 to 2015.
In 2005, it was 68 percent. In 2015, it was up to 80 percent. That gap increased the same amount as that of Ecuador. No other country on the list had more than a 9 percent increase.
