Possiblity of Expediting Naturalization?

Recently I applied for a position within my current firm which requires dealing extensively with customers in the aviation industry. The customers are insisting that they would deal only with US citizens.

I received my green card last July. In the normal course one would have to wait for 5 years before applying for naturalization.

Is it at all possible to expedite the process? Are there any alternatives available? If the company provides support is it possible to waive the waiting time?

On review posted on Rajiv's website, it does not look like it is feasible. :(

Please chime in on the matter. Thanks in advance.

Yes, and it is actually very "easy": All your company has to do is lobby the Congress, change the law and have Bush (duwya) sign it. Once they get the new law in the books, they can frame it especially for you. Hang it on your office's wall so your company's customers can see it when they come to meet you...

Enjoy the wait,

yalag,
I know, some people think strangely that they can tailor everything for their needs. Isn't funny?!! but you answer was even funnier. Kepp the fun around yalag, we need it in our struggle with the USCIS
 
Hi Yalag,

From your posts, I know you are quite frustrated by the slow processing in ATL (I am too). But I am impressed by the positive attitudes (seasoned with your sense of humor) you have shown throughout your many posts. We need this! Reading your postings just makes my frustrated experience a little easier. Keep it up, buddy!
 
The only problem is that sometimes people don't get the humor and think that I was mocking them.

Well I am, declaring it for all:

My shrink, whom I hired especially for my N400 application (you see some guys foolishly hired a lawyer, I was smarter, I took a different kind of counsel... :p ), told me that inorder for me to survive the journey towards citizenship I must extensively express my humorous side, so that my blues won't engulf and drown me.

In my answers I am not trying to be patronizing nor be teasing, I am only following my shrink's orders....


frustrated in Atlanta,

No wonder you're still hanging on. :)
Can you refer me to her/him?

Just like WOULDBECITIZEN's famous immigration god, my shrink is very hard to get. Proper recommendations and credentials are reqired prior to getting a meeting with him. Most importantly, you must be from an excruciatingly slow processing DO (Your DO must be processing applications from before January7th 2004).

If you feel you are worthy of a session please tell me, I might agree to lend hiim out for a couple of minutes...
:p

Frustrated, yet alive

Yalag,

Look on the bright side - your DO may be slow, but you at least live in a great part of the country, the only thing Dallas has to offer is a fast natz processing time and waterskiing in the spring. As soon as I take my oath, my bags are packed and I am headed out east to ATL.

Of course, it is not possible to bend the law to accomodate you.

If it is the requirement for the new job to be a US citizen, you can kiss it good-bye. On the other hand, this requirement seems a little strange. I know that the military can insist that all of their subcontractors have to be US citizens, but a civil industry? Maybe it is the story that they are telling you because someone does not want you to have this job?
 
Enlist if you want to expedite before 3/5 years!

Well, actually there is an alternative and unfortunately the OP was being ridiculed for asking if there was one.

If you have 1 year or more of active service in the U.S. Armed Forces during the period since 9/11/01, whether currently active or now honorably discharged, you are eligible to apply now (of course, you also have to have been a LPR during this time). See the USCIS site for details.

It is a known fact but it is not applicable to the OP according to himself.

In general, however, it is illegal for a company to discriminate against non-citizens eligible to work. Military and national security reasons are the only exceptions.
If this company doesn't fall in one of these reasons, I would advise them of their possible violations of US labor laws.
Certain aviation companies (Lockheed-Martin comes to mind) do essentially only military work, and they in fact require citizenship.

Exactly, and they will tell you ahead of time that security clearance and/or citizenship is a requirement.
