Second Citizenship of United States of America
Get citizenship of USA? Do you need it? Is it a prestige? Or, maybe, you want to pay taxes in all countries, where you'll run a business, don't you? It's very important to pay taxes, no doubt, especially that this country can increase its arms race, and that American beer- and hockey-lovers, which lies on sofas all their life, can get doles in time. Everyone, who was born in America or on the territory that belong to USA, can get USA citizenship. Others need to draw up the permanent residence - Green Card, that to get citizenship of USA. This is stay permit. The holders of this document don't required to become a citizens of USA. They can stay in status of the permanent resident for term of life.
The holders of permanent residencein USA can be on this status forever, but until then they satisfy the demands of USA goverment and keep up the papers perfectly in order. In some categories (for example, an investor) "conditional" Green Cards are given for two years first, which should be transfered in "constant" with period of validity in ten years later. You need get USA citizen and take an oath for fidelity to America and fill passport application. Just one category can get travel passport USA (Refugee Travel Document) even if they aren't USA citizens, this's refugees, but our Company doesn't work with this category of declarants. Refugee Travel Document really can be as a us passport for traveling, but it's given just for refugees, which has Green Card or gave statement for it, but just for one year and with the subsequent renewal. All other categories of immigrants should have valid passport of their country. They can hand in an application for getting Re-entry Permit or Advance Parole Document that come back to America, but these documents aren't destined for traveling all over the world. You need fill in form I-131 - Application For Travel Document for getting any of these documents. USA usual passport (an analogue of our Russian passport for travelling abroad) are given after getting USA citizenship, in sum it takes near seven years.
First reason, when USA citizen is advantageous and necessary, is when getting fixed up in a job in the Pentagon and different govermental organisations. It concerned with that on many such vacancies they give an employment to citizens, and where they take on not citizens, there are more advantageous conditions for citizens, especially by different privileges, compensations, additional payments (the so-called bonus and benefits).
Second weighty reason of getting USA citisenship can be a wish to travel with a passport of this State. But you should always know the negative side of things. Citizens of USA are obliged to pay taxes from all sources of income, no matter where in the world these sources are. Non-payment of taxes by USA citizen is the punishable crime. But it's not all yet.
Not long time ago amendments were taken, accouding to which, if USA citizen refuses from citizenship, during five years after that refusal, he should continue to pay taxes from all sources of income, if he has several businesses in the world.
The country should somehow finance arms race, wars and spreading of democracy of American mode on the planet Earth.
