<p>Any ideas ?</p>

2

<p>marry a us citizen</p>

3

<p>just that ?</p>

4

<p>This could quite possibly be the worst forum on the entire Internet to ask this question.</p>

5

<p>Be born in the US, to parents who are US citizens.</p>

<p>Can’t beat instantaneous!</p>

<p>The best way? Get a student visa to go to school here. While you are here try and get a working visa so you can work here, all while applying for you green card every year. After about 7 or 8 years, you might get your green card, and then after about 5-10 years, become a citizen.</p>

<p>haha 7 to 8 years is too long mate!</p>

<p>I was wondering if I could goto USNA. Which is rather possible if I get nominated by my country but I going in the normal way would be better.</p>

8

<p>Not 100 percent sure…but school and work are easiest from what i know. In general it’s just hard to be a citizen/</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is the slowest way. Even illegal immigration is a better idea.</p>

10

<p>lol, yea i know…</p>

11

<p>7 years for green card is bs, it was a lot less for us… and i can’t see the time fluctuating much either. i believe it’s only 5 years for citizenship after you have a green card too. most immigrant families i know have been here less than i have and are citizens.</p>

12

<p>ajayc,do you really need to be a citizen very soon? why?</p>

13

<p>seriously…marry a citizen.</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>Even if one’s parents were undocumented, if one is born in the US, then he is a US citizen.</p>

15

<p>oh dear god why would you want to change your citizenship? ( or gain another for that matter?)…I’m quite happy with my little, widely uknown, country´s citizenship.</p>

16

<p>There is no fast way to get citizenship. You have to go through the process like all other immigrants do. Even if you marry a U.S. citizen the process takes awhile. </p>

<p>Check out this government site:

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>marry someone who has a pretty important position with the US government who has to go overseas again soon</p>

<p>5 years after green card. A lot longer to get it. If you come here on a student visa, you can’t apply for a green card. You need a work visa (H1B) and a company to sponsor you. That can take a long, long time to find in the first place, and the actual application process is up to two years after that. Especially for those folks who had to do it after 9/11. In total, 10-15 years is realistic coming in as a student.</p>
