Mrs.J06
O.k., first poll for me, hope it works....

I haven't decided yet, right now I feel like I'd prefer to keep German citizenship. I will certainly look into dual citizenship requirements, though.

Thanks for voting on this!

there is no option for NO on the 1st question crying.gif
Kez/JWolf
I will file as soon as I can.... then once I am a citizen I will tell USCIS to send themselves where the sun don't shine....

I will of course be keeping my UK citizenship too....

Oh s**t, you're right... sorry... I knew I was going to screw up somehow! mad.gif

I probably will eventually file for citizenship but I might wait a year or two.... I am able to file for citizenship after April 2008... I guess it all depends on if we have the money or not...

I do plan on keeping my Canadian citizenship too....

I have thought about it, but havent decided for sure yet.

Gary plans to file as soon as he's able, and he will also keep his original citizenship as well from the UK.

I keep flipping back and forth, ask me in a couple years when I am eligible, I might have made my decision by then. Whatever I decide, my husband is in support of it.

If I do, there is no question that I will keep my Canadian citizenship.
CherryXS
This one, I can safely proxy-answer as "haven't decided/though" on both questions.
TenderCat
The deciding factor on this for me would be the following in all honesty.

If i dont get citizenship...will i still be entitled to social security ( if any ) when i retire, and will i be able to get medical help when older.

When i know the answers to this, then i will decide on what route i will take.

Speaking on behalf of my husband, he intends to seek citizenship here in the States and retaining his Canadian citizenship...that way he'll always be flying home. smile.gif

Duel citizenship for me, without a doubt. If I can't have both, I shall remain British.
A.J.
My wife will apply for US citizenship as soon as she's eligible.

To retain Canuck citizenship is simple: "once a Canuck, always a Canuck--unless you fork out about C$400 and fill a form to renounce"

This too has been covered before, similar to Canuck duality.
Henia
I have already filed for naturalization. But my husband will too...but we both prefer to have dual citizenship.
raphael7546
everybody here assumes that I will of course apply for my American Citizenship, including my husband and his family. They were shocked when I told them I hadn't decided yet and that I was leaning more towards no!
Nessa
Haven't decide/thought about it yet. I have to read about it.
Cdnwmn
Yes in June of this year (once passport is renewed) for both my son and I.
Lauren and Dave
Definitely yes. Dual citizenship. My wife and I want to live in England for a few years at some point (so she can see where I come from and have a better understanding of my culture andd customs) so I will need to have moved beyond a green card which i would lose if i spent 5 yearsss outside the USA.
Sid and Nancy
I will file for citizenship eventually, but there's no rush smile.gif And I'll keep my Russian citizenship as well.
Caladan
Yup, he will. It will be a happy day when I don't have to worry about these bullshit annoying regulations any more.

C. will retain his Canadian citizenship, too, and if we move there, I'll get mine, so we don't EVER EVER EVER HAVE TO FILE PAPER WORK TO MOVE.

Hi Everyone!

Yes, I will definately apply for US Citizenship as soon as I am able too. And based on the timeline, that would probably be sometime in 2009. I love the USA and my family here in the USA, so what better way to celebrate than to become a US Citizen?

As well, I will keep my Canadian Citizenship, as it is too complicated to renounce it. After all, "once a citizen of Canada, always a citizen of Canada". So yes, I am looking forward to becoming a 'Dual US American/Canadian Citizen" soon!

For extra fun, I can also add the country I was born in (no, not Canada) too. However, that country does not recognize dual/triple citizenship, I have not been back there since I immigrated to Canada as a child, and I have no emotional and/or family ties to that country. That is also not my country of citizenship, as I have not claimed citizenship there either since I left.

Lol.. having several countries listed that I lived in sure does complicate immigration matters!

For now I think I just need to settle down here in the USA and focus on becoming a Citizen here later....

I am Canadian Citizen and a Soon-To-Be American Citizen, proud of it!!!!

As a Canadian citizen, I can have dual citizenship, and plan on doing so.

Aussielad
me too!, wow thats comming up around the corner!
SENKA
I want to keep Canadian Citizenship for sure. Not sure about US yet.
wannabe_texan
Absolutely, positively 100% want to be an American:)

I love this country smile.gif And not just because it raised the love of my life biggrin.gif

If they let me keep my German citizenship I will certainly apply for US citizenship as soon as I can. If not I will stay German.
echomyst
Since Canada will allow us to keep our citizenships, there's nothing to lose in applying for US citizenship, so why ever not?
Lou Lou
Without a doubt going for it at the end of this year. Then we can move out of the US. biggrin.gif
