The first step to becoming an American citizen~?

Question

is respecting our laws, illegals first step entering our country is to blatantly and knowingly disrespect and disregard our laws. Legal applicants are tested on their knowledge of our culture and their mastering of our language, so the next time you see a Mexican who doesnt speak'e no ingles~ "is probably an illegal ALIEN"

Icelix~ I am sure you had to reference my spelling to write blatant~ You call me racist for commenting on legality!~ your dumb! and truly the racist one!

Thin guy?... what are you doing, your family must prefer a second language, otherwise... arent you sick of pressing one to proceed with your American business?... dont influence lazy people that wont learn english!~ I think my cause is more benefitial than yours- to the people you are trying to promote!

Sassy! .. I bow to your answer!~ thank you for your education!... BEST ANSWER! by far

Answer 1

WHO CROWNED YOU "DICTATOR" ???

Answer 2

Spotter888 has the right idea but with an immigration visa pending you will most likely be stopped at the border as an overstay risk due to your having an immigration visa pending (both the K-1 and K3 are immigration visas)! He (your boy friend) on the other hand can visit you. Good Luck!

Answer 3

The first step to becoming an American citizen is to do whatever the laws of this nation require of you.Its not to try to circumvent those laws by coming across the borders by illegal means.Now explain to me just what is racists about the truth? Perhaps the singling out of a certain country might be misconstrued as perhaps racists.
But maybe where he lives the majority of illegals may well be from Mexico.I live in Arizona.Where 99% of the illegal aliens arrested and deported by the Border Patrol are Mexican,with the other 1% being OTM,according to their published figures..So before any one screams racists why not think about the question and answer with your brain and not your emotions.Calling people names is very childish to me.I deal in facts and reality.But I wont try to tell you what to do.After all we are ALL entitled to our own way of doing things.

Answer 4

I'm sorry, but while I sincerely agree illegal aliens are a problem, your facts are not, in fact, facts. There is no requirement that an individual speak English to get a legal immigrant visa. It just costs money. Since "English" (think about it) is some other country's language anyway, it seems rather silly on your part to even think about requiring potential legal immigrants to be fluent in it. Taking your logic to its conclusion, we should all be required to learn Inuit (they were here first), or Italian (like the man who 'discovered' your country) or, in fact, Spanish or Portugese, like most of the other people on this continent!

Answer 5

I think they should show America just how bad they desire to live here the America way and not the Mexico way.When they were in Mexico they knew they were hardly getting by instead of getting better they add to the problem with more children as in more people. They should practice birth control, stop letting the Catholic Church dictate a recipe for life. That attitude to life they had in Mexico is carried over into America they continue to have more kids than they can take care of and thinking nothing of getting all government assistance they can.

Answer 6

Not necessarily. He/she could be the spouse or child of a legal resident who is simply too lazy to learn English.

Answer 7

You are a total moron or just a little bit smarter than a total moron??? Yes I answered your question with a question. Next time you want to do something think, think till your head hurts. Oh and the question you should post is " Am I a complete total moron???" and then I can answer YES

Answer 8

I agree with Sassy.

Answer 10

COME HERE LEGALLY!!!!

***
Natural citizens can be subdivided into two groups; those who acquired their citizenship by having been born in the United States, and those who acquired their citizenship by been born to parents that are citizens of the United States. Those individuals who are born on U.S. soil are said to have received their citizenship under the doctrine of "jus soli" or by the "right of the land". Natural citizens who are not born within the United States, but who are born from parents who were citizens of the United States at the time of their birth acquire their citizenship under the "jus sanguinis" doctrine or by the "right through blood".

The process by which people from foreign countries become U.S. citizens is called naturalization. There are three steps in this process:

1. File an application.
2. Take a naturalization examination.
3. Participate in an Oath Ceremony

Not everyone, however, is eligible to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. A person must meet certain requirements:

* Be at least 18 years old
* A lawful permanent resident for five years
* A person of good moral character
* Be able to understand, read, write, and speak basic English
* Possess a basic understanding of United States government and history
* Be willing to take an oath of allegiance to the United States

Additional eligibility details can be found on the Immigration and Naturalization Service web site. In addition, the INS has provided an online eligibility worksheet to help people determine if they are eligible to apply for naturalization.

Application for Naturalization

All applicants must complete the "Application for Naturalization" (Form N-400) to become naturalized. This form can be downloaded off of the INS web site or it can be obtained from a local Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) office. To discover where the closest INS office is to you, use the INS online map.

The application requests information such as name, address, date of birth, basis for eligibility, absences from the U.S., employer information, marital history, information about children, allegiance to the U.S. and more.

All applicants must be fingerprinted by the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) for the purpose of conducting FBI criminal background checks. The INS charges $25 per person (for most applicants) at the time of filing for this fingerprinting service.

Applicants must include the following with their Application for Naturalization:

* 2 color photographs
* $250 ($25 for fingerprinting and $225 for processing the application)

Naturalization Examination

After the Application for Naturalization has been filed, applicants will be notified to appear at a INS office to be interviewed. The applicant will be asked questions about his/her application and some questions that will examine his/her knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government.

During this interview, applicants will also be examined on their ability to read, write, and speak English. The following applicants do not have to complete this part of the exam:

* Individuals who are more than 50 years of age and who have been lawful permanent residents for 20 years or more.
* Individuals who are more than 55 years of age and who have been lawful permanent residents for 15 years or more.

Oath Ceremony

If one's Application for Naturalization is approved, then the next step to becoming a citizen is to take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States.

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

If an individual cannot promise to bear arms or perform noncombatant service because of religious training and belief, he/she may omit those statements when taking the oath.

In some places, one can choose to take the Oath the same day as the interview, or to request to be scheduled for an oath ceremony in a court.

ETC!!!

Answer 11

Whatever happened to "I base my opinions on what I think is RIGHT, "NOT" on racial grounds unlike the typical illegal alien promoter." ?
