It's Official

Last Thursday, February 16, 2012, B became a US Citizen!!  He's happy and excited and now whenever we go through Customs we can say, "we're all US citizens" instead of, "my wife and daughters are American and I'm Canadian."  Well the truth is he'll still likely say that when he's crossing into Canada since he's considered a dual citizen.  The best part of it all?  No more shelling out money to the government for immigration costs.  Of course being able to vote is a pretty cool thing too!


If you're curious how he celebrated?  He went to get a Coney Dog from American Coney Island which was right across the street from the courthouse.  Next time he'll make it a point to try both so that he can better compare and make a decision for himself which one is better.

Almost There...

January 28, 2005 - I mailed in the first round of documentation and payment to USCIS.  It was a petition for a fiance visa for B.  It was the start of a long (and expensive) journey of immigration.  Today, just over 7 years later, we found out that in just over a week B will take the Oath of Citizenship and become a US Citizen.  I am so very excited for him, this has been something he has wanted since he was a kid.  Next Thursday, February 16 at 10:00am it will all become official!!!
