Good morning, Citizen

Every year, thousands of men, women and children from all over the world become US Citizens. The path to Citizenship is not always easy, and you certainly do NOT have to be a citizen to live in America. Some people live here for 30 years or more with just a green card, which is “leave to remain” without being a citizen.

Nevertheless,  Ian made his way (by plane) to America and set to learning about America, in addition to marrying his lovely fianceé (me) and adopting his beautiful daughter. But he wanted to have a say in our government. He wanted to be able to vote, and maybe own a weapon (these two things are not related, btw, except that citizenship is required for certain things.) 🙂

So he practiced Citizenship questions day and night for several months. He went to sleep with the questions and answers playing in his head via his audio CD.

After several (5) various visa applications, on March 4, 2013, Ian attended his appointment at the US Immigration Building in Omaha, Nebraska, answered questions about the formation and continuation of the US Government, his rights, his privileges and his contributions to the United States of America, as a legal Citizen.

We are proud of this day when someone we love would choose to live in America, as an American and be excited and proud to do so. We are proud of you every day.

Happy Citizenship Day to my amazing husband.
