I know a family who the wife, and 2 chidren were born Canadian. She married a US citizen. They tried to get naturalized when they were first here, and had saved the money (aprox. $1,000 for 3 people) for all the forms, got all the medicals, pics, etc, and everytime they went to file, something else was added that they needed to do. In the meantime, immigrations would not take the money until everything was done. So, being a family of 5, they fell on hard times, and ended up using the money for necessities. My question is this; I heard somewhere that there is a law that once you've lived here for either 7 or 10 yrs, you can automatically become a citizen. Anybody know if there's any truth in that? Also, is there a way to get a legal pic ID done (for travel purposes within the US) w/o a social? SHe was told there wasn't, but I would guess there is, I just don't know what it is. Any ideas? And no, she's not really from Mexico, and she's not taking anyone's job!
