What part of Wales? And am I correct that the Welsh are born singing beautiful four-part harmony?

Wait....did we get to vote on him?
Joking aside, Well Done! I'm told that around 1650, one of my relatives escaped from Wales.

Does citizenship take longer for some than others? Depending on where you're from?
I think it took my Mexican sister-in-law longer than 11 months.
Marrying my brother helped. Her daughter is also a US citizen now and a cop in a suburb of Dallas.
I think it took Charlize Theron longer, but don't know when she actually applied. I saw a talk show where she amused herself by making it obvious that she knows a lot more about US history than did her US-born friends!
Nicole Kidman doesn't count. She was born in Hawaii when her parents were vacationing there, so holds both US and Australian citizenship by birth.
So, the OP was Welsh. Do you have any ancestors who fought at Rorke's Drift? Thought there might be a small chance. We need men of that stock here and if you're like them, welcome to the USA. To stay!
My ancestors were English and Scots. But all arrived in 1830 or before, so we haven't recent experience of immigration requirements. My children are half German, but that's my ex-wife's fault. At least, my son and daughter have got good, very English, names. But my young grandson has a VERY Germanic first name. My son has asked that I not post it in public forums, but believe me, it's a German name. Looks a bit odd with his British last name. Oh, well: in the end, we're all Americans. Some are even lucky enough to be Texans.
None of this rambling is meant to offend our non-US members. Some I admire most here come from places like Switzerland, France, South Africa, Portugal, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden. And I've probably missed an obvious addition.
LATER: I forgot Sasu, the Finn. Is he still on the board? He made some good posts.

WELCOME TO AMERICA.
Welcome back to the forum. My Dutch ancestors got here in the 1600's, I guess their citizenship changed a couple of times since then. +1 On the citizenship test, I doubt I'd be able to pass it without MUCH studying. Now to learn to speak "ENGLISH".

Welcome to America as a citizen!
Congratulations! With citizenship comes responsibilities. One of which is to be a 'stand up man' Let me explain. About a month ago, I bought a rifle from a member of this forum. The rifle was presented as being in very good condition and the pictures, I later discovered, were taken to show the rifle in a far better condition than it was actually in. Me being in California and the seller in Arizona, the transaction took much longer than normal. Unfortunately, after sending full payment to the seller and while waiting for background checks etc. to be completed, I received devastating news from my doctor. I'm suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy...very advanced heart disease. A heart transplant appears to be my only option. I have no insurance. Bills are piling up fast and decided to talk to the seller of the rifle if he could return my money and I return his rifle. He refused. I then figured I'd just re-sell the rifle once I received it. To my dismay, I received the gun and discovered it to be total junk, un usable, un shoot able, a fake finish made to look like patina, and totally unsaleable. The guy ripped me off while knowing I'm too sick to drive to Arizona to deal with him man to man.
On Friday the 13th I took the Oath as an American Citizen... God Bless America....

Congratulations. As my last commander used to say to all his troops when we reached a milestone, "now don't screw it up!"
