So the time has come to become an American, I've been putting it off for a while as that green card was expensive and being cheap I wanted to get my money's worth . I went to Jacksonville this morning to have my biometrics done and now it's up to the FBI to do their thing , I've been studying the 100 questions and think I've got that down although the answer to "who's the speaker of the house" is NOT "that bitch Pelosi" . Apperently that answer could be frowned upon .

rofl I think you got it right. "Bitch" is being polite. I've heard most of the questions they ask are hard and most born here can't answer them correctly. We'll have to change your name to Not so funny flag phil.

The questions aren't too bad once I'd gone over them multiple times and yes most people I now (Americans) fail miserably LOL, even our kids which is pathetic as one is still in high school and one at university. I'm keeping the funny flag

Remember going to my mom's naturalization ceremony as a kid. My wife became a citizen during Bush 2 era. Yeah, most Americans are too stupid to pass the test. I learned a few things when helping my wife study for it... By the way there is no such thing as dual citizenship. The USA requires you to give up all other citizenships to be a American. Canada doesn't care , nor Norway. I looked into getting citizenship in Brazil, Honduras, Trinadad, and El Salvador (a while ago) and they were more than happy to let me buy in as long as I could show a income from outside the country. Kinda what Trump is wanting to asking for now, seemed far to me then. Let us know when you naturalization ceremony is, it is a proud day for you.

Just when you were making progress.. Mash hereHere you go, watch this and learn these verses for your test! On a side note, you haven't lived until you have sung the first verse of "My country this of thee" in a crowded London pub called Lord Wellingtons.
