I'm a U.S. citizen interested in applying for citizenship in another country. Any suggestions?
Answer:
G'day,
2 ways to immigrate to Australia:
1. Apply directly thru Australian High Commissions/Embassy nearest to where you live to choose what category of immigration that you want to be. This is the cheaper way but you will need to understand all the requirements and preparations by yourself.
2. Apply thru immigration agency. They can make a preliminary assessment of your chance to emigrate to Australia. If you have enough point, then they will help you to prepare the documents and what to do/say during the interview. This of course come at a cost, but for some ppl it is money well spent. Some agents that I know reputable are as follows:
immigration@nevile.com.au
adrian@wklawyers.com.au
Hope this helps. Good luck on your application and welcome to Australia :)
Yes, do it. Before this country goes to crap and you can't get out.
Netherlands, Canada, Switzerland
I would recommend the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Mexico do the duo citizenship, and let me tell you the Americans do WELL , they got good jobs and business god luck!
Do it this country is down spiraling. Many Americans are too scared so there will be a huge humanitarian crisis once the US goes 3rd world. I'm leaving once I'm out of University also, but most likely through a student visa for graduate school, and then just apply for residency and citizenship later.
And actually the US does do dual citizenship with Germany, Canada, and many other western or developed countries, but I definately know they do it with Canada.
Look at the countries with the highest HDI (Human Development Index):

Moreover, if you´re a journalist, look at the freedom of press:

And the respect of privacy if you don´t like beeing filed by "big brother":

Any Country you choose will be good. It will be an interesting experience. Good luck.
getting citizenship to another country is very very hard, my girlfriend moved to Sydney, two years ago and is proving hard, and she's a nutritionist.
Have you thought about getting jobs with like CNN, FOX, cable channels that broadcast around the world? you can still asked to be posted to theses places.
u have to really think hard about it. most people dont read the fine print, some countries requires you to denounce your US citizenship before u became their citizen, and to keep ur US citizenship, u have to denounce ur other country's citizenship. if things really get into trouble, u may be a person of no land.
I'm right there with you, man...
I'm looking at Australia and NZ myself. I'm still pretty worried about job prospects and other social aspects as an American, but I need to get the hell out. It's scary here...plus there is no bang for your tax dollar here!
With a degree in hospitality management, it's a little more tough for me to get a work permit in Oz or NZ. As a journalist, a work permit is pretty easy to get in Australia.
I would also consider taking a look at Canada. It's a little cooler up there, but the immigration criteria is a bit easier and it's considerably easier to blend in as an American there than in Oceana. Plus, you're only a cheap plane ride from friends and family.
In your situation, I'd look at New Zealand. The weather's decent, it's quite serene, pretty laid back, and very socially progressive. Plus, you can then move to Australia upon becoming a citizen. They are also keen on english-speaking folks and have a website just for potential American migrants at http://www.immigration.govt.nz/nzopportu...
Good luck...hope to see you down under somewhere if I make it!

Go, and renounce your US Citizenship, too.
I wish you the best in your search. I believe you might find it difficult since you do not have a skill that's in demand. You'll find places like Canada, Australia and New Zealand use a skills based approach when evaluating potential immigrants.
why don't you try Iraq,Afganistan,South Korea, Colombia, Philipinnes?
buh-bye. don't expect hugs when you want to return. You may renounce your US citizenship at any consulate.
Canada
If you are a liberal, just listen to Michael Mooron. Immigrate to Cuba and they will take better care of you than in the USA. HA!
I would look more into getting a work permit or a long term visa. If you become a citizen of another country most countrys will make you renounce your US citizenship. That will be very hard to get back even tho you were born here. Australia i hear is a very nice place especially the bigger citys the outback is hardly populated and much more jungle then civilization.
Being a US citizen is a great privilage you really do not want to throw it awey so fast just because you want a change of scenery and health care.
You might have to pay. Countries with socialized medicine pay heavy taxes. If you do not have some skill they want you may have to pay for the years you didn't pay taxes.
Australia sounds real good. You have to have something to offer them.Are you a teacher, doctor, farmer, something that will be a plus for their country? That's what I heard anyway. You also have to pledge yourself to their country and abide by their laws.You pledge their flag. If you don't like the way their country runs things, they tell you-- Get Out ! Wish America would take a stand like this.
