@tim_g Congrats to her.
What was her citizenship before?
Thank you!
Sweden. Now she and our kids have dual citizenship.

Thanks, nope... It's quite the process even through marriage and kids.

@dustinb3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
@Tim_G if you married her, wasn't citizenship immediately granted?
No, I am married to an American which in itself doesn't give you citizenship or green card. I came here with k-1 visa which means a lot of paperwork and you only can get married here in the US. If you get married in another country that is more difficult to go through.

From what I've heard, I can't even imagine it being harder. That's very unfortunate.

We had our wedding in Japan, but did not do any legal paperwork for it because my wife had a K-1 visa.
We went to the courthouse in my home county for a legal wedding once we got back in the U.S. after the wedding.

This is why politicians just do and say what ever the fuck they want.
The population doesn't know jack shit about how it really works.
This is also way it was so easy for Trump to push all the right buttons with 'Murica.

This does mean I deal with my Wedding anniversary twice each year.

Wow you can feel the Freedom oozing from every orifice in America these days. So much so that people who have been married for years to Americans still need to spend lots of money and do loads of paperwork to become citizens. Then they need to pass a test that 3/4 of American born Americans cant pass.
I helped my friends wife quiz for her test a couple years ago. -

That make sense, and that's one way to do it.

@scottalanmiller Yes, I totally agree with this.

@scottalanmiller Yes, I totally agree with this.
If all countries said this, where would the people go?
You're more likely to end up with a situation like Starship Troopers - service is citizenship.... i.e. don't get certain rights unless you pass a test or go into the military, etc.

Just occurred to me that I should probably start Christmas shopping soon.

There will always be some country that wants the dregs.

Yes, youre right. It would probably just be better to kill every one here that couldnt pass the test. Remove their genes from the future of humanity. I am also for this.

Lol then I'd have been kicked out before I helped my wife with studying her flash cards.
She said the test was easy, but the hundred or so flash cards to memorize would have been harder had she not had recently taken college courses that covered a lot of it.

Ethnic cleansing? Kind of boring at this point in human history no?

@wirestyle22 Ethnicity has nothing to do with it. Stupidity cleansing would be more apt.
