I have dual Japanese and Italian citizenship. There’s a legal loophole in Japan that when you become an adult and Japan asks you if you want to keep the Japanese citizenship or not, you just say “I haven’t decided yet”. You keep saying that every time they ask, and they’re legally not allowed to deny you citizenship.

Can you do a video explain more about a way to get a Green Card? It’s pretty much the hardest process so far.

[@JohnnyXanax]

Just marry an American. Depending where your from, it may take a DECADE before getting your GC. Unless you have connections. Might as well just travel here and stay. Kidding. It is not the hype it portrays. It was an amazing country to live in before 9/11 came along. So happy I was a teen in the 90's, good times. Even Taco-Bell had edible food for human consumption.

Civic test answers (as practiced in the U.S.) 1. Executive Order 2. Gets ignored by every legislator / law enforcement / judge in the U.S. 3. We the Aristocracy 4. A change to the constitution that gets ignored too. 5. Bill of rights, that we the government gives to you, not God. 6. The right to kiss a cops boots whenever he wants you to. 7. Too many and not enough, but it doesn't really matter, no government entity follows the constitution anyway.

I wrote a comment on LEO Round Table complaining about the way the police will lie about the reason for being pulled over, and then change their story to try and search a vehicle. This was Chip De Block's response - "You're under the misguided impression that police should not or cannot change their story, exaggerate or even lie to do their jobs. Reading the part where you believe law enforcement should not pull someone over unless they have committed a crime made me smile because it SEALED THE DEAL on how much you do not know or understand."

Why do the parents need to be married for a child that is 100% the responsibility of Americans to be American? This is one of the dumbest, heartless policies I've ever heard. And I watch the news daiily.

[@totally_not_a_bot]

To mitigate abuse of the system. A woman could sleep with a brit, never see him again, have a kid, and claim the father was American. If the couple is married, you have a paper trail.

You are a US citizen at birth automatically if one parent is a US citizen, even if the parents aren't married at the time. If the father is the US citizen, it has to be demonstrated he was physically present with the mother at the time of conception, for example with plane tickets and passport stamps. As long as the US citizen parent had enough (currently undefined) time in the US (which also needs to be demonstrated with bills, W-2s, etc), the local embassy will file a consular report of birth abroad, even if only one parent is a citizen and they're not married. If they can't prove the father was there, they even do DNA tests for citizenship!
