Re: Need Help: Gaining American Citizenship (more info now)
Well I thought it would be nice if he kept is own citizenship. I feel bad 'pushing' him into becoming an American. You should do so out of choice not forced to for ease sake or because you 'have' to.
I just got off the phone with the British Consulate. Man oh my, it's a tough thing to get him a passport. Since it would be his first. The amount of paperwork is amazing. That doesnt bother us much there was only two parts that are nearly impossible to obtain. His father's birth certificate and to have his father fill out a marriage declaration form. His father and he don't talk. And yes, it HAS to be his father, I asked.
So now I am going through the US lines to see what can be done. I just feel slimy saying 'Become American, it's so much easier'. It's so sad that our country makes it so easy comparibly.
It's a strange issue for me personally. My family is American by birth and hertiage or Choice. My father's side is mostly American Indian so they were kinda already here. My mother's side fled Spain to come here and wanted their children Americans. I feel uncomfortable asking someone to just 'do it'.
Maybe Im just nuts.
