Hey Andy,
Yep I'm aware I can have duel...it's not really that important to me
to be duel. Maybe once I have kids I might think differently, right
now I think it's fine. But thanks for the reminder

I should note incidentally that the nation I had most specifically in mind
when I wrote that was Germany (c.f. the semi-recent threads regarding their
having to give up citizenship)

I thought it was evident from what I'd posted, actually, that I'm already
in your country. Look back through to September or so and you'll see I
posted a K1 interview report.

No, it wasn't, and in the spirit of the thread it meant in all seriousness
either, but for some reason I really get my back up when it results in
knee-jerk reactions like Meagan's. I wonder why that is?

I could, but given the choice between getting married now, after spending
4 years apart, and knowing that not doing that because it would mean
spending another 3 years apart, at least, which would you do, seriously?
The point being that the love which brings us to go through the whole
shebang of a process - and the same in the other direction, where
necessary - is far, far stronger than any enmity held. I'm sure you can
agree with that.

I wasn't trying to convince you, however much you might make ill-informed
judgements of me. But *waves visa in air* so it's pretty irrelevant
whether you think I deserve one or not. The INS seems to think that my
being an honest citizen with a clean record and no history of working for
the Nazi government to suffice.

This is my intention, though as the K1 FAQ says, the main reason for
taking US citizenship is to remove the onus of liability from the US
spouse... what's your stance on that? I'm not sure it'll be an issue in
my situation, ultimately, but I'd probably still do that if need be.
You know, despite the evidence to the contrary and whatever I might have
said, I don't hate the US so much as find it intensely frustrating that a
country that has so much potential to be such a power for the right thing
in the world gets it wrong so much, seems to stumble and trip so often as
soon as it gets beyond its borders. And how many of its citizens remain
blithely unaware of both that and the extent to which America isn't the
only place. Americocentricity gets my back up almost as much as
Anglocentricity does, and that's something I could rant about for hours.

*That* is the answer I asked the other respondee to find for
themselves...

Laugh sometimes... cry sometimes... most of the time I sit on my arse
waiting for the day I can submit for an EAD and start contributing
something ;p

Canadian here and have every intention on becoming a U.S. citizen.
Long ways off but will do it when the time comes. I figure if it is
good enough for me to live in this country it's good enough to become
a legal citizen of it. Doesn't mean I'm any less patriotic to the
country I was born and raised in and I get to have that dual
citizenship.
