Reworded: To Permanent Residents -Do you Plan to Ever Become a US Citizen? Why or Why Not?
2007-02-10 13:07:56 · update #1
I am a legal resident, currently in conditional status, but as soon as i get my permanent residency, i will apply for citizenship, only because I think it is the natural thing to do after coming this far. Having been through all the paperwork and interviews, I see it as a job half-done not to become a citizen. If for no other reason, then at least to be able to vote in presidential elections and have a say in who gets to run the country I've chosen to live in.

Permanent Resident of the US usually apply for US citizenship in order to achieved their American dream. For others, they do not want to become an American because USA is now being hated by many nationalities and the US economy is down compared to the booming China. Thus, there are many who opted to become Chinese nationals, instead.

You report for naturalization via potential of USCIS style N-4 hundred. the value is $680 and it at present takes approximately 4 months from start to end. the approach is fairly at cutting-edge forward. on the biometrics appointment you will acquire a study handbook with the one hundred civic questions. I surpassed that try with no need considered it whilst quickly as with an 80 5 percentile quote. After analyzing it each and each time being in my bathing room at domicile I memorized all one hundred questions so as that i replace into waiting to respond to all one hundred properly interior below 14 minutes. you will acquire 10 of those questions on the interview and would desire to respond to a minimum of 6 of them properly. in case you answer the 1st 6 properly, the try often stops. you will additionally would desire to checklist all your journeys out of the country interior the previous 5 years. nonetheless, that's a walk interior the park. growing to be to be a U.S. citizen will have no impression on your U.ok. citizenship. you purely would desire to go away and to circulate into the U.S. with your U.S. passport from then on. Oh . . . an you will would desire to report an earnings tax return each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days to boot, whether you quicker or later circulate back to the dominion.

yes but only because it makes it easier to reenter the US after visiting overseas. I don't have to be a citizen to honor the flag or the laws of the land. It is a toss up also because now US citizens have bullseyes on their backs when they travel, our country's reputation is in the toilet thanks to the government. I wish it was not like that but there it is. So on one hand, it is easier in terms of not needing visas to travel to certain countries but on the other the rep is making us targets.

Why bother? The rights of US citizens and those of illegal aliens seem to be about the same nowdays anyway.
