I am a U.S Citizen

I took oath on Auguest 2nd 2007. It sure has been a long journey. From F1 to PT to H1 to Green Card to Citizenship - a never ending process indeed that started back in 1993. Not that I would give up my origin or Paki Citizenship or anything especially since we are allowed to have dual, but I still found myself a bit emotional and teary on the day of oath.

How did you feel when you got yours?

Re: I am a U.S Citizen

We have jobs for both of you in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some bearded people in those countries need some american citizens on urgent basis. No resume required. :5:

Re: I am a U.S Citizen

US citizenship is one milestone of the long-term plan, I am thankful to God for helping me achieve this milestone, so to answer your question Queer, the plan remains same :)

Re: I am a U.S Citizen

question to both of you
if you are not allowed with dual citizenship then which one you keep :)

Re: I am a U.S Citizen

If I wasn't allowed to have dual then I would have never applied for U.S Citizenship. I would have stayed with Green Card forever.
