bjarvis: (US Capitol)
[personal profile] 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.

My maternal grandmother does much the same: she has dual citizenship (US & Canada) so she travels to Europe on her Canadian passport, to the US on her US passport.

It is possible to renounce Canadian citizenship, but it is difficult requiring an official swearing and signing an affidavit before a gov't official and such hoops. I could easily retain dual citizenship but would essentially be American while in the US.

Fortunately, there is no need to rush into a decision.
