    Timeline Tampa Florida

    I was sworn in as a U.S. citizen today her in Tampa Florida, and just wanted you all to know how extremely smooth and expeditious the process has been. I obtained my permanent resident status in 1980 but decided to forgo becoming a U.S. citizen out of sheer indolence and procrastination...
