I came to live and work in the USA a little over 13 years ago now. In that time I've made a life here and have have been living here as a permanent resident (i.e. green card holder) since 2001. That card is expiring next year so I've decided to become a US citizen (well actually a dual British/US citizen) and so have just started filling in the paperwork I need to file to do this. It all looks very simple to be honest and is the logical thing to do. I suspect I'll always think of myself as English/British but such a large part of who I am is tied up with this country I want to be able to stay here for the long term (like 13 years isn't long :-) ).
It is interesting to think that I got a job at this company due to me answering a random phone call from a temp agency for a "2 week assignment" that turned in to 8 months, that turned in to a full time job, that led to 3 and a half years before a trip to the USA for work, that led to an off the cuff interview that led to moving countries. I've been here ever since with the same company making a life.
