Citizenship Questions!?!

I think the study guide is more than enough. When I went for my exam (many years ago) I bought the current Almanac and read all the history and other political info in there and nothing else. I had my interview and realized that just the guide that they hand out (which I didn't have as I had done everything through the mail) is more than enough - I was asked a couple questions about the flag; about the balance of power; the first amendment; number of states; number of senators from each state; the name of senators from my state; the name of the first president - current president and vice president and nothing more! Fairly straight forward. Good Luck

Citizenship where? My wife and daughter are Colombian.

I have a cedula extranjera. Does anyone know how I might become a Colombian citizen?

Z_gringo, I Assume You... are in Colombia now? If so what type visa do you have-again I assume spouse. If so you can apply for permanent residence in Colombia after three years. After another three years, I think, or maybe five years you can apply for Colombian citizenship through MRE. I checked thoroughly into this question some years ago and to go from permanent resident to citizen was of no real value to me in light of the paperwork-your case may be different.

Colobian Citizenship Gator

I go back and forth. I have a spouse visa and the Cedula Extranjera. I have had it for more almost 3 years. It will be 3 years in July.

I'm told that in addition to living there, you must have blood relatives (or be born there) in order to get citizenship if you weren't born with the right to citizenship (Colombian Parents).

I'm not completely certain what Colombian Citizenship would do for me either. I could visit Brazil without a visa. I was thinking that I might be able to get a better job in Colombia with a Colombian passport than without. But I've never even searched for a job there, and If I end up working there, I'd probably have to start my own business.
