American Citizenship!

Ok, it took me about 10 years to decide to become an American citizen, and I got it todayJ.

I was already allegeable back in 97, I send my paper work in, but some how INS lost my paper work, so I thought maybe it is a sign that I should not become a citizen. Time goes by; my dad got his, then my brother, finally my mother.

Two of my best friends asked me, what am I waiting for? I said I don’t know, and it is too much money just to get the paper says that I am an American citizen.

So yet again, I let the opportunity passed.

This June, my dad comes to me, “When are you going to get your citizenship? If you not going to get it right now, you are going to pay $700.00 if you decided to apply next July.” I said “What????, Holy cow!!, it was only $100.00 back in 97, now they going to rise it to $700.00?”

This is my draw line; I am not going to pay $700.00 just for that. So I filed my papers, got my fingers printed, and waited for 3 months.

Got my interview this morning, and got my citizen ship paper this afternoon, talk about express line.

Here I am as a new American citizen.
