Abstract : Instances of transnational migration cause immigrants to define new identity and belonging emerging with new
references apart from the forms of identity and belonging based on traditional references. The approach of transnationalism
argues that immigrants’ ties of belonging are variable. This study, setting out from this approach, focuses on the correlations
between transnational social spheres and belonging. This study concerning with Turkish immigrants living in the USA uses
qualitative and quantitative research techniques. 511 Turkish immigrants in the USA were given a questionnaire, and then
in-depth interviews were held with 26 participants. Thus, it was found in research conducted with participants all of whom
were the first generation immigrants that the Turkish immigrants living in the USA highly felt that they belonged in the USA
and that they developed ties of belonging.
Keywords - Transnational social spheres, transnational immigrant, belonging, Turks in the USA
