Being a territory doesn't mean you become a citizen in any case. American Samoans are not citizens, nor are they entitled to bypass the naturalization process if they wish to become one.


They don’t bypass naturalization process but US Nationals can apply for US citizenship by moving to United States, which they have right to with no limits, and apply for naturalization within 3 months of being here. They take the tests and boom done, US citizens.
