I'm now an....

I had no idea you were not an American citizen before.

It has been my opinion for some time that the process for gaining citizenship in the US is difficult and takes too long. This leads to issues of people working in the country illegally and a variety of issues in general. Based on your recent experience, what did you think of the process?

took 9 months. applied 1st of november 2019 - had my interview on the 13th of march 2020, passed. 2 days later uscis was closed due to covid19. was supposed to attend the oath ceremony in april so it could have theoretically taken 5 and a bit months. uscis then scheduled my oath on the 19th of june for the 25th/26th june but on the 21st it was de-scheduled because of the surge in covid19 cases in texas. on the 19th july, they rescheduled it for yesterday.

granted, i'm married to an american so the approval process is faster.

but overall, easy as fuck.

i applied online too - no lawyers or people to help you is necessary.
 
Congrats.
I’m British and have a lot of American relatives. After WW2, generations of my family were keen to move and have slowly moved to US. Some are there for 2 and 3 generations now. Recently my cousins and siblings also moved to leave this depressing country, and they’re doing great in terms of money at least and American freedom. I’m the youngest on my side and I’ll surely leave if I can.

Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America
Oath

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

I've seen a bunch of these ledger books from late 1890's, containing the signed and stamped oaths in an old Manhattan courthouse, five to a page. Fill in the blanks style where they actually stated the government they were renouncing. Big, florid script from the clerk, small, uneducated scrawls from the new citizens.

Doesn't that read like dual citizenship not allowed?
