Answer 1

Better hurry up, John McCain might become President and he does not like Asian people so your chances will become less.

Answer 2

lower that IQ of your by 20 points or so

Answer 3

you have to right a long essay of what america means to you and then present it to somewhere and you might have to got to some where like washington dc. i think thats correct.

hope this helps

there might be one other way if u werent born here but im not sure

Answer 4

You don't want to be an american. Come to a better country. England for example. To be an american, you need to forget about half of everything you know, gain about 3 stone and become more ignorant.

Answer 5

What is your current status?  If you are a green card holder, you can apply once you have been a holder for five years.  I think that if your parents become citizens before you are 18, you will automatically become one as well.

If you are here because your parents have a work visa, it could be harder.  If you have to go back to Korea, get a job with an international firm and come back that way.  Otherwise, it is marriage to an American or the diversity lottery, if South Koreans are eligible.

See the USCIS website for more info.

Answer 6

You need to go to an immigration office and ask them exactly. It's actually kind of expensive, first if your parents become american citizens and you are under 18 you just go to the immigration place and pledge to the American flag and that's it. But in order to do this you must first pay around $500 I believe. OR, if you are over 18, you have to take a test of basic American History, pass it and then you can pledge the flag. It's different for everyone, but this process may take a good 6 months.

Do this as soon as possible so you can vote when you're 18, and so that you'll have your residency status good by the time you go to college so you may apply for more scholarships.

Good Luck.
