	Workpermit.com - US - Becoming a citizen
		Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, this has become a serious problem and more and more people are losing their residency status because they are deemed by port of entry officers as having abandoned their permanent residency in the US.
		Citizens over 21 years of age can sponsor family members without waiting on a queue for a visa to become available.
		US citizens can also sponsor adult children and siblings, though the waits in these categories can be a few to several years.

	Becoming an Irish citizen through naturalisation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		All applications to become a naturalised Irish citizen are decided by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
		All of the time that a UK citizen has spent in the State is reckonable for naturalisation purposes as UK citizens are not required to have residence permits or documents under the Regulations.
		You are an Irish citizen from the date of issue of the certificate and you can apply to the Department of Foreign Affairs for an Irish passport any time after that date.

	Citizen Kane (1941)
		While the cipher of "deep-focus photography" is bandied about as the chief innovation of Citizen Kane, this serves merely as a disguise for Gregg Toland and Welles' genius for laying out, dramatically lighting and executing scenes.
		The ability to have almost everything in focus is both a blessing and a curse; it requires an intuitive feel for working in three dimensions, judging relative scales and knowing how to draw the eye to the heart of a scene without distraction.
		All in all, Citizen Kane is something of an exercise in virtuosity and how to use (rather than be used by) special effects.

	Naturalization :: Canadian Expats in the UK :: UK Immigration & Visas
		I came to the UK with ’right of abode’, it wasn’t until a 2 years later I realized that I was eligable for citizenship all along, so I registered.
		Now as a result my American husband is able to apply for his naturalization after 3 years since he’s married to a UK citizen vs the 5 years you have to wait as a resident.
		This has nothing to do with becoming a UK citizen but it does show that we can’t see into the future and if it’a available to you and you have the right to it, it makes sense.

	UK Law student needs advice: Law Vault Message Board (either way) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		I am a UK law student studying at one of UK's most reputable universities (equivalent to one the UK's Ivy League if they had one).
		I believe that CA and NY are relatively liberal in admitting UK grads, and I believe that a few of the other states are even more liberal, while a few states do not work well with foreign degrees at all.
		Because Canadian law is more similar to US than UK law, I can see spending your first couple of years in Canada, then getting a US LLM, and then getting a job with a US firm as a possibility.
