You won't make it ... if you go across Mexico you'll be slammed in jail, or worse ... and I'll be my bottom dollar the U.S. will have a treaty with Uruguay to pinch your fines off you in situ ... naaaah .... better to learn Spanish .. change your name to Perez ... and join the illegal demonstrations ... you'll get away with it ....:)

I really wish we could let you in, but since 20 Million illegals from south American have invaded, the Government of United States would like to give them permission to cut in front of you in line. \n\nSeriously, You would want to visit the United states consultant office in your country.  There is a lot of paperwork to fill out.  It might take awhile before you will be permitted to live and work here.  The easiest way would be to get a student visa and attend university here.  Then, while you are here apply for residency and a green card.  Otherwise, you may end up waiting for years to apply for residency and a green card in Indonesia before being permitted to come over to the U.S..  If you just get a visitor's visa and just stay, you will be breaking the law.  And since you are from Indonesia and not Mexico, they will be more likely to deport you.\n\nI wish you luck.  Diversity is a good thing.  I wish there was a more fair way that more people from many countries could become citizens.  It's not right that someone can just cross illegal and get rewarded when you would like to come over legally.\n\n:)

Why should you want to do that?\n\nIf you dislike the politics of your home country, choose another.\n\nThat's "voting by feet" - as it's called here.

Call the INS and ask them. When you do give them your location. One more thing if youre going to go DONT CARRY MEXICAN FLAG. If you want to be treated like AMERICAN call the US Flag. Also if youre a student and you see a reporter and they ask why are you protesting KNOW THE REASON FUCKING REASON WHY.

I would highly recommend that you go visit india for an extended time and make sure that is what you want to do before you set things in motion on a more permanent basis.\n\nI just want to clarify that an American does NOT automatically lose their american citizen if they become a citizen of another country.  The only way this happens is if you go to embassy and sign away your rights by consciously choosing to renounce your american citizenship.\n\nDual citizenship is allowed, but not encouraged.\nThe exception to this is when a person from ANOTHER country becomes a citizen of the U.S.  As part of the oath, there is a phrase renouncing previous citizenship.  However, this is no longer enforced, for a variety of reasons, even though it is still on the books.\n\nI lost all my links, but I will post the link to this information as soon as I locate it.\n\nP.S. ... while it is legal to have dual citizenship, it can create some problems and hassles, too, post 9/11 ... just be prepared.

Pack your bags and leave. Simple. If you've got to hike it, do so. Preferably when its not raining or too cold. If you've got the will there's a way. If you're trying to leave legitimately, such as the US consulate route, just remember that paperwork and especially the US goverment work at a sloth's pace, so, you may have to sit tight for awhile. good luck.\n\nCurrent sailor, USN\n"Why be with your family and loved ones when you can join the United States military and play in the ocean?" - anonymous

Thank you for asking.  If you find your closest American Embassy they should be able to supply you with all the information you need.  Additionally, do a Google search for "American Citizenship Requirements".

You must formally renounce your citizenship in person at a consular office in a foreign country by signing an oath of renunciation. You must prove your legal status to reside in a foreign country or show how you intend to apply for a non-immigrant visa to the US.

There is no such thing as Dual-citizenship in America. Some countries will recognize a dual-citizenship, though. If you want to be an American, you cannot serve in another country's military, hold an elected position or vote in another country's elections. You can renounce your US citizenship at a US Consulate and surrender your passport, if you want to become a full Venezuelan Citizen.

Move on a work visa and apply for landed immigrant status once you're there. Contact the American embassy in your city for more information.

If it very difficult if you do it the right way.. The best, easiest way is to learn Spanish, become a Catholic if you are not already one, go t Mexico and then come up to the U.S.... Sneak in!.. Get to a Catholic church and the church will hide you in ones of their halfway houses that is off limits to the police and the INS and then they can get you a false ID card.. the other way is once you are in the U.S. via Mexico, etc, go to any of the hundreds of welfare offices, work-related offices, etc and bribe the Mexican gal or guy who is working there. That is how thousands of driver's licenses, green cards, social welfare, etc papers are gotten..

First: Have your father speak to someone at homeland security (immigration). If you have been granted residence as the child of a legal resident, you can now come and go as you please. You WILL need a "parole" document to return to the USA.\n\nThe Green Card process does take a while, but is a step in the citizenship process if this is something that you want to do one day.\n\nAgain, 1st thing to do: have your father contact homeland security to find out what is next, and how you can come into the country. If your tourist visa is still valid, you can use this to come and go.
