Thanks to those who answered seriously. I am a citizen...born and raised...just curious why running across how ever many tens/hundreds of miles of desert is more appealling than the legal route of becoming a citizen (aside from taxes, insurance, etc.)

If you are a Green Card holder, you can apply for Naturalization 90 days before the 5th year anniversary of becoming a Permanent Resident (90 days befoe the 3rd year annivery if you are married to a US citizen). You must have good moral character and you could not have spent more than 6 months out of the country within the 3 year immediately before submitting your application.
Currently, it takes between 9-12 months before you will actual take your Oath of Citizenship, during which time you will be interviewed and tested on your knowledge of the English language and US history and civics.
If you are considering becoming a citizen, I would recommend that you submit your application before April 1, 2007. It currently costs about $400.00 for the Naturalization application. However, USCIS is trying to increase the applcation fee to $675.

No, you will could desire to be an grownup, as component to the approach is which you under oath resign any and all allegiance on your present day u . s . of citizenship and its people. So if the U. S. government asks you to fly over there in a time of conflict and poison the water properly of your old domicile city, there is not any hesitation on your section. for sure, this demands a definite adulthood, besides because of the fact the criminal skill to go right into a settlement. for that reason, the earliest you may additionally mail on your N-4 hundred is on your 18th birthday.

Why would an immigrate want to be a US citzen . you would have to pay for insurance, pay taxes . But it you want to be a US citzen first call bank of america and get a credit card to pay for the cost .And you may not have to pay it back.
