I'm So Excited! I'm a U.S. Citizen.

[Deckerd]

Congratulations! Give my regards to the IRS.

I had my formal renunciation of citizenship interview last month; so (subject to rubber-stamping by State Department) I'm no longer a US citizen. And so the Force remains in balance...

Why would you do that? I mean I'm not prying so just say if it's none of my business.

On last Friday I went for an interview to become a U.S. citizen and I pass with a flying color. The INS officer even expressed to me how good I am. I'm going back on the 23 to be sworned in on line a... Yippeee! Now I can vote.

Okay, I have to give you a hard time about this, because the INS doesn't exist anymore. It's ICE now. I'm just amused that a freshly-minted US citizen would make a mistake like that.

But welcome to our country! The more the merrier!

It's probably USCIS actually.

Congrats! I handle the H1-B, green card, and eventual citizenship paperwork for the company I work for, so I know what a maze it is to get through it all. Welcome.

We (the US) just couldn't live up to his fashion expectations, so he cut us loose.

Congrats! Thank you for not breaking the law and doing it in the correct manor.

What do big houses have to do with any of this?

I don't think I'll go into the detail, but thanks for asking. I think you can probably divine at least part of the answer if I say that the administrative framework is getting increasingly burdensome for US citizens living and earning abroad. As I consider myself British and have no intent to live in the US, it made sense to simplify my affairs.

Why do you hate America?

Damn; did I inadvertantly let the terrorists win?

 

[RoJoHen]

With every breath you take.

Tell me about it... had a few problems related to that recently myself.

Thank you, Sting.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

With every breath you take.

And every move he makes.

 

[Admiral2]

Congrats and good luck!

 

[RJDiogenes]

Congratulations. You're not only a citizen now. You're likely more informed about our country than 90% our citizens.

This is, sadly, very true.

 

[Brolan]

Welcome to the exciting thrill ride that is the USA! Please keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times.

 

[Paradon]

Sorry, for the late response! I like to thank everyone!

Actually, he never would've dealt with I.C.E. to become a naturalized citizen. The I.N.S. Agency split into two branches. I.C.E. Deals with inforcement and prosecution of offenders breaking laws related to immagration, and smuggling/traffic threats to our boarders (whether human or contraband).

The agency responsible for lawful immigration and naturalization of a citizen is U.S.C.I.S.

And they, like the I.R.S., love their fees and paperwork... Bleh.
