 citizenshipAnyone have any ideas why a father won't let his 17 year old daughter become a citizen of the United States when she has lived there for eleven years and is planning to live there for the rest of her life?
 
 (And yes I'm the daughter, my parents aren't citizens of the USA, and I'm already a citizen of the country I was born in, but I want a dual citizen ship. My parents don't want to become citizens of the USA).
 
 So, any ideas of why he isn't letting me?

 Well, he probably want to retain the pride of your original culture.  If you are trying to convince him, keep hammering the dual citizenship, since it wont be like you are abandoning your original country, just picking up another one so it will be easier to live here.
 
 PS.  The citizenship process is far easier if you are a minor than if you are over 18, or at least thats how it was when I became a citizen.

 he's probably afraid that if and when you become a citizen, you won't have pride in your own countries and you won't celebrate your own traditions. there is also a possiblity that he might want to move back to your home country and bring you with him ? idk, these are just a few ideas.. hope i helped.
