Hey all,
I just wanted to get some opinions on whether it'd be a good time for me to apply for citizenship. I still have a few years on my green card, but I'd also love the peace of mind of being a citizen.
- I moved here on a K1 visa in 2012 and married my college bf, we were married for around 3 years then got divorced when we grew apart. Originally from England.
- I have a 10 year green card that expires in 2024.
- I'm a freelancer and currently very underemployed due to the pandemic. I've been on a mixture of unemployment benefits and the occasional freelance gig for the last year. I know a job isn't a requirement, but do they look at this at all and is it better to wait until I have a more steady/impressive income?
- Did Trump make it harder for people to get citizenship right now, and/or has Biden made it any better?
- Otherwise no issues or prior problems or anything. Have always paid taxes and been a chill resident.
Anyway I'd appreciate some real people's opinions based on your experiences because finding concrete info/advice on the government websites is so difficult.
Thank you so much!
