I think it works out that if we want to get Citizenship its all up going to cost us around $1200, thats why it didnt make any sense when we were talking, i didnt get that we could just go for it, but i still might be all confused.
And if this is the case then my Citizenship will have to wait, i cant afford the price as well as living here, shoot im going to be flat out paying the 10 yr card.

| I would say if that's what they told you , then that is what you would do Sunny. Dennis wasn't in the military, and they must have little perks for the military. Probably because of so many doing overseas duty, lots are bound to meet their spouses in another country.

 Immigration Fees Now Significantly Higher
 WASHINGTON, DC - As of July 30, immigration fees on 39 services increased by an average of 66%. Some fees doubled or even tripled in price for the most popular documents. For example, the cost to obtain a green card or permanent resident card went from $395 to $1,010. To become a United States citizen will now cost $675 compared to the $400 before. The fee for employment authorization went from $180 to $340. The increase will help the USCIS or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services cover the cost of doing business and allow more personnel to be hired. Turnaround times on certain services will be reduced. Some Hispanic television channels in the U.S. partnered with immigration activists to launch citizenship drives before the July 30 increase. They set up centers where volunteers would assist immigrants with the paperwork and answered any questions related to the immigration process.

This to
NEW HAVEN, CT - New Haven, Connecticut is the first city in the United States to implement a municipal ID program open to all regardless of legal status. Of the 26 city officials who voted, only one voted against the program. The card will not make a distinction between citizens and non-citizens. The municipal ID will grant access to public services such as libraries and facilitate the payment of downtown meters for parking purposes. It will act like a debit card that also serves for identification purposes. The cost to obtain the city card will be $5 for children and $10 for adults. In addition, the city card will be a legitimate identification to open a bank account. Two New Haven banks have already agreed to accept this ID. Part of the reason why the card was proposed in the first place was to encourage illegal immigrants to open up bank accounts since they are commonly targeted for theft. Many of the estimated 15,000 illegal immigrants in New Haven do not have a bank account and sometimes have to carry large amounts on them. Now the city card will provide them the opportunity to open up a bank account since they will have an acceptable form of identification. Critics believe such program will encourage more illegal immigrants to reside in New Haven and put a strain on public services. Supporters argue the city card will increase public safety. Compared to other cities, New Haven is relative friendly to illegal immigrants as it bans police from inquiring about immigration status and provides them with federal tax help.

I'd reply to this, but it isn't in the heat it up room, and then i'd get angry, and stressed, which I really don't need...certain politicians are going to bring this country down, and it's not going to take all that long. Never have I seen where it is the norm to reward wrongdoers...

| Ill have my say if it is moved but until then I will have to go through the removal of conditions and pay etc just as you Dahls that will be for me in June 2009 so the prices will probably have increased again by then BUT in saying that as soon as I can become a USA Citizen I will -- I never want to have to deal with INS again no amount of money saving is worth that 363

I think it just depends on what you think is more important to you in the above benefits of obtaining US citizenship versus the cost, and the necessity.
What a well rounded and sensible response. These two lines were most resounding. Well done.
