My husband is up for citizenship (he's British) |
|
I don't want him to do it...yet anyway. He's 23 years old (24 next month) and he's the right age for the draft. He'll probably become a citizen eventually, hopefully in time for 2008, but not now, not to become canon fodder in place of some spoiled Republican brat who doesn't feel like going.

3. Don't let him give up his UK citizenship. |
|
Dual citizenship is best. He may want to return to Britain. Soon.

You can't renounce it, that is what my British father told me. If he does become a US citizen he will not lose his british citizenship.

6. I'm a GC holder too, with a medical degree, |
|
I'm worried that I could end up in any 'skills draft', so I was considering not going for citizenship. Of course if they threatened that, I'd jump ship back to the UK faster than the fastest rat leaving a sinking ship you ever saw. Not that I don't love y'all, but I ain't killing no-one for that miserable sonofabitch

thinking of applying for citizenship soon. I have to get the money, which I don't presently have and it'll take awhile. It's been long enough. I've been in this country since I was 2 months old

MOVE BACK!! And you get hitched before he goes and move back with him for Christ's Sake. You'll be sippin' ale while the rest of us are dieing in Ashcroft's concentration camps, fighting in the rebelions or in the front lines of another Bush crime family adventure.
