My wife. She left her job, her friends, her home and country and traveled thousands of miles just to be with me.
On 20June14 she became a naturalized citizen. She did all the work herself. All I did was drive her to where she needed to go.
If you have never been to a swearing in ceremony, go when you have a chance. I was really moved by the people that didn't just want to live and work in the USA, They WANTED to be US citizens. They worked hard, just like my wife, to become legal citizens. I saw a man from russia, probably in his early 70s, with tears in his eyes as he was pronounced a US citizen. His face was just beaming as he pinned his new American flag on his shirt collar.
It is not cheap to become a US citizen.
