Ok. So I'd like to get a US passport and maybe a government job later on, but in order for my plans to be fulfiled, I need to apply for U.S. citizenship. The porblem is, I'd like to get it fast. I've been living in the U.S. since I was 8 years old and have a green card, and my brother is a citizen, which I don't think gets me anywhere, but nonetheless, my point is I'm totally American, but am not considered an American because I dont' have citizenship. (I mean I don't have all of the benefits of an American, like voting). I'd also like to travel, and I think the benefits of having a U.S. passport are endless, plus I don't think I'll be moving anywhere from the U.S. So does it really take at least a year to get everything processed? Couldn't there be a faster way? After all I got all my education in the U.S., and am currently attending a university that requires me to study abroad, but how can I do that when I don't even have a passport?

You probably are perfectly qualified for citizenship. There is no "fast lane" for naturalization, but you might as well get started at last:

particular, you may properly be denied citizenship. mendacity to an immigration officer is a crime and grounds for refusal. whether or no longer they choose for to press the element is yet another question. in the event that they do refuse, it is likewise possible to be deported on the grounds that being married to an American citizen would not directly supply you with any immigration rights. you may have time-commemorated sufficient to maintain your nostril sparkling. there are such incredibly some human beings attempting to grow to be voters, they do no longer could desire to take any possibilities in any respect which you does no longer be an upstanding citizen. At age 19, you have been the right age to be conscious of that. All you're able to do is to be conscious and desire for the final.

Look I am going to make is really easy. Find you a really good immigration attorney and they will advise you of the procedures that you must go through. They will probably do all the paperwork and filing for $1000. It would be worth it to you to do this.
