Citizenship

I finally caved and applied for naturalization to become a US citizen. Figured my husband was one, my son was one, I might as well be one and stop being double-minded about it. I have to pledge my allegiance just as Ruth did in the Bible. Then I asked myself what if my husband died? Will I want to stay in USA? Well I guess I do? I suppose I owe it to my son to have him raised in his dad's legacy of freedom. I don't know. Okay I am probably delving too deep into it.
I actually applied for it because they were going to hike the fees to $675 in June and make the tests harder too. Surprisingly, it was so much easier than applying for a green card. I just have to basically take 2 passport pictures and fill out the application and of course hand over $400. Now just have to wait for the fingerprinting and interview and oath. Then go and renounce my Malaysian citizenship at the Malaysian embassy.
I also figured that in future, should my husband decide to teach overseas or something, the paperwork will be much easier for us. Plus I don't have to worry about changing my Malaysian ID card again or renew my passport. And I can get my money out from the EPF and buy me more LV bags!
Well no actually, because our trip to Malaysia this summer will take a huge chunk out of our savings! But we are excited that Cael will see where his Chinese eyes came from!
