How do I become a legal American citizen?

I was born in Ontario Canada but I have lived in the United States since I was two years old. My mother is Canadian but my father is American and they were married when I was born. I have been told that I need some form for Naturalization but it is a bit pricey so I was wondering if I had other options. I also wanted to know if I had to go to Canada in order to get an origional birth certificate. Please Help, Thanks

You should be able to establish US ciyzenship directly.

ou can order your Birth cert over internet.

Are there any loop holes of how I'd be able to declare myself faithful to the USA and achieve citizenship?

It's unfair because I didn't choose to be born here and I despise Canadian culture and bureaucracy. I was upset recently when the "queen" came to my city and my co-workers and family told me I should be ashamed of myself. They basically said that I am "her royal majesty's subject" and that I'd better get used to it since I live in "her dominion".

I'm confused by how these people can claim I live in a free country where everyone is equal when I'm being taxed to give this pompous royal welfare recipient a free vacation. Then they have the audacity to claim that I'm her "subject"?!?!? You could excuse me for forgetting we're in the 21rst century. Then we've got Prince Charles coming here every few months to talk about climate change and advocate more taxation... Meanwhile the guy has 5 cars, rides first class around the world to such and such conference, and I ride the bus and need to pay more for broccoli now to reduce my "carbon footprint"?? I don't agree with this corrupt British-based system of government and my province seems to be going further and further down the wrong path.

I'm 24 years old and I want REAL liberty. I've also been refused health care here so I am indifferent to whether I have health insurance.

I am not a doctor, lawyer, architect, or engineer. How do I leave this socialist hole and go to a place like Nevada or Arizona? Please don't tell me to move to Alberta because I can barely stand the winter here in Hamilton, ON. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You're in luck. Here are a couple of "loop holes" for you to consider.

No. 1
Contact the U.S. Marines, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy or the U.S. Air Force to inquire about joining. If you are in the age range and in acceptable health, you can join as a foreign soldier.

Once you are a foreign soldier, you can join the Fast Track to citizenship program set up by President George W. Bush. The program allows foreigners to become U.S. citizens quickly by joining the U.S. Military.

No. 2
Be granted citizenship through an act of Congress. A private bill, introduced by Congress and signed by the President, may make a person a United States citizen.

Best of luck. Please let us know which option worked best for you.

P.S. It's a good thing your parents were not visiting the Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, Niger, Somalia or Ethiopia when you were born. Yes, I agree that it is unfair that you didn't get to choose where you are born.
