Can I trade my American citizenship with someone who wants to immigrate to the USA?

I understand your sentiments. I myself am an American finishing up a PhD in England. Alas, you cannot trade your own citizenship. Citizenship is, for the most part, an inalienable right. While the US government has in the past attempted to revoke the citizenship rights of certain parties convicted of treason, the Supreme Court has actually ruled such actions as unconstitutional as 'Cruel and Unusual Punishment'.

My suggestion to you, if you are set on moving to and working in a specific country, would be to do a 'dry-run' so to speak. If you know that country's immigration rules you probably already know that you can move there temporarily to look for work, usually for a period of 3 to 6 months. In many countries, such as Britain, once you're in the country it is much easier to find work there. Once you've found work get a temporary work visa. In many countries, again, like Britain, once you've lived in country for 1 year you are eligible to go through the naturalization process. You can be naturalized in any country in the world, you just have to be willing to go through the beauracratic processes to reach that point. They may seem daunting, but if you're set on moving to and staying in a different country, there is no reason to hesitate to seek naturalization.

Are you sure you aren't smoking crack?

If you were American you would know you are FREE TO LEAVE. No trade necessary!

From your previous post it would be hard to believe you graduated from High School.

No Trades, No Compromises, No Exceptions, No Excuses, No Amnesty!

By the question you asked I highly doubt that you have that education you claim to have. I hope it is sarcasm.

Why don't you post your ad in the Al Qeida Gazette. You could don a burka and teach goat herding and the other person could come her to become a human bomb and blow up a nursery school.

Better yet so-called educated person, read MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY and see what it means to give up your American Citizenship.

You almost have a PhD and you're asking a question THIS absurd?

You can't TRADE citizenships!!

___________

Other countries deport people who are illegally present?

We don't do that in the USA!

You got all those degrees and you still can not do better then an illegal immigrant. You question explains your lack of employment.

Tons of ed and no street smarts. The US citizenship is not some kind of yardsale item. While in your school of higher learning you should have taken some gov and history classes.

*Tell~Me~U~Love~Me*

It's Illegal !!!

You claim that you are educated with tons of education... Well with all that education, do you know what you are saying or implying... What you are implying is treacherous, your citizenship you don't give it, trade it or talk bad about it because if you do you could be call a traitor.

Hello, don't think it works like that. Most countries do not allow citizen swap with other countries.

JennoftheJungle

I will certainly work on finding some info for you on that, because someone that would even ask this question indeed needs to get the feck out of America.

Yukaza

I don't think it works that way .But I certainly would love to find someone for you to trade with .No one should ever be forced to withstand the horror of being an American citizen. I wish you all the luck in the world in your quest for freedom from this terrible country.

Marry, and exchange citizenships. Then divorce at a convenient time, a couple of years later.

You are not an American. Any American in there right mind would know that there is no way in hell you can trade your citizenship!!! WTF is up with that???? I would be more than happy to pay for you to move out of the country and give you the boot. People like you are the reason Islamic Extremism will take over the country eventually. Peace Out ******.

TEXAS TREY

I wish you could then there would be one more person in this country who believes it affords to best opportunites to all its people.

i_luv_music

why do you insist on telling us how intelligent you are?? is it because you are afraid we will think your stupid? you have intelligent questions.. no need to flaunt your education. we all get that your smart.. the only dumb thing about you is that you like illegals.. :]

It appears as if your education has left you blinded by the ivory tower rhetoric of the leftist faculty that worked with you.

Here's a thought. Since you hate America, why don't you sneak across the border into Mexico and become a teacher there? Or better yet, I have some contacts in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait who would dearly love to have your educated soul under a labor contract. Try trotting out your Trotsky and Liberal Feminazi attitude over there. Just send me the video of the caning. i could get into that.

People of Yahoo this just proves that an education is a dangerous thing in the hands of the wrong person. What a waste. I surmise your masters and PhD is in something useful but I envision it is something like advanced Neo Coloradan Hippe Art Cultural Awareness Tree Hugging.

Leave now and shut your pie hole. Never look back and don't expect Ms. Liberty to miss you. And take your girlfriend unless she is hot and bi.

Hahaha. I feel for you. I've been through the same and was finally able to get a work permit here in the UK. Try the HSMP programme. http://www.ominternational.net/immigration/uk/hsmpvisa.asp

NO !
Citizenship is a privilege.
Not a commodity to be traded.

Well, you could arrange a phony marriage with some one who is interested in coming from another country to migrate to the US. Actually, because you are a woman (I suppose) and have the citizenship with the highest market value, you would have no problem at all finding people interested. I *think* that, as long as there is no money involved, it is legal.

As a matter of fact, I once new an American woman who was here in Brazil because she had an arranged marriage with a Brazilian businessman (cash for citizenship) and she took the opportunity to requested the Brazilian citizenship and live abroad for a while.

Being in the academic world, I am pretty sure you can find lots of students and visiting teachers that would jump at this opportunity. In this case, it might actually be simpler because these students usually are on a scholarship and stipend payed by some agency in there country. Multilateral agreements makes the US require them to return to there country a period of time equal to the duration of the scholarship/stipend even if they marry an American and get the green card. This period would count as the period of time required for the other person to get the permanent papers and there wouldn't be inspections of you living together, specially if you are living abroad already.

I would check on this just to be sure of the details, though.

you should go to a consul somewhere or an embassy and ask them the same question. they will most definitely help you out half way by taking your citizenship rights away. After that it is almost impossible to get them back though, so keep it in mind

I Know!!! You were just making sure we were all awake right??!!

dimitri

Why would you want to leave the good U S and A? King George Has improved this country, woman.
