Or I did until this: "$595 plus a biometrics fee of $80; the fee total is $675." Jeez, I'm not that patriotic. Plus, my father served this country in the Air Force, yet he'd have to pay to become nationalized? Bull.

So I will trade someone here either Canadian or Iranian citizenship or a 1st-edition Charizard for their American one.

How did your father serve the country?
Actually, I've never heard of special treatment for permanent residents in the military...

The only special benefits I know for serving the country (while being an immigrant or a foreigner) are Filipinos who served during WWII

I'm quite lucky because my mom didn't care about how much she'd have to pay. She wanted me to be an American citizen for the benefits. And now I am.
If you really wanted to be a citizen, you'd pay for it, even if you have to post-pone it. My mom post-poned it for us for a couple years...

He was in the Imperial Iranian Air Force before the Iran-Iraq War and went to Texas on some special training program with the U.S. When he was there, he defected and stayed with the American forces instead of going back. I don't know the full details of how that happened, but he was in the USAF shortly thereafter.

And hell no I won't. They should be paying me to become a citizen.
