Drink the Kool aid, ignore reality for corruption and grift, and the federation collapses

That sounds Persian, not Arab...

His name sounds Persian, not Arab. Still resoundingly stupid for him to support trump though.

The face-eating leopards are feasting

My mom got citizenship at around 5 years after getting legal permanent residency, you can send the paperwork like 3-6 months before the 5 year mark and they process it as soon as you are eligible.

I thonk the test happened right after the 5 year msrk and the Oath ceremony is like 1 month after I think.

This was during Obama Admin

I was a minor at the time so I automatically got citizenship from my mother

As for green card visas, yes that took like more than a decade, the petition for my parents started before I was even born. But for citizenship is usually 5 years of legal permanent residency.

The article said he lived in the country for like a few decades, and he applied for naturalization 10 years before... why didnt he finish the process? Kinda confused... not trying to victim blame, just confused...

The only reason why you couldn't go through with it is if your English isn't good enough or if you can't memorize test questions... like my dad (👀 uh oh... hope he doesn't run into ICE)

Ah, I stand corrected. My hubris was my downfall, as usual.

These stories have a kind of surreal quality, like a Kafka novel. They feel fake because it's difficult to imagine how a person could be this delusional. We explain our experience by generating an internal narrative and this woman's narrative diverged from reality a very great deal while she watched fox news and then came crashing back in the form of a giant legal bill and an unemployed husband. Could have been much worse.
