Eligibility

[bjarvis]

My fifth anniversary of obtaining permanent residency in the US occurred this past Tuesday. Technically, I could now apply for US citizenship.

I'm still uncertain about whether or not to proceed but I'm feeling less opposed to the idea now that gov't checks & balances seem to be gradually returning to what they should be.

My status is good for another five years so even presuming it will take 12-18 months for processing if I decide to proceed, I have lots of time to give this the serious thought and consideration it deserves.

For what it's worth, the processing time will probably be less than you'd expect. I submitted my paperwork in late November, was fingerprinted in January, and interviewed a couple of weeks ago; the ceremony is scheduled for June 6. Your mileage may vary, of course.
