"The cost of becoming a U.S. citizen could increase by 80 percent late this spring, from $330 to $595, federal Immigration officials announced this morning"
All of my family are now American citizens as of January of this year. Looks like we dodged this one.

Numero Uno, reason to become US Citizen "The price is about to go up". 2nd reason, get USCIS off your back.

No kidding. "Get it while it's on sale" is the American way!

One of these days there will be a sale on good pre-owned dogs (low mileage) somewhere in this country.

I have been here on and off for about 17 years and still have not got US citizenship. The first time I looked into it, it was about $200 and I couldn't afford it then.
There is not much I haven't been able to do without it, so I probably won't bother.

Oh really?

I have an American husband and a child. Does that mean if I don't become a citizen my will is invalid?

I don't think that's correct. It's just that non-citizens don't get the same inheritance tax breaks.
