Charlie P.
You are more than welcome. These are my true words from the bottom of my heart. What Your and every Americans Ancestors achieved for their up coming generation, it is very obvious, the system, the buildings, the cities, the parks, the places, restaurants, cars and top most Universities/colleges. This what they built for their generation and people who wish to come here and live, make their lives easy. I have no complaints, as far as government is concerned, so I cannot imagine in Pakistan, paying a tax and get earned income credit or any refund, I would have to reborn 100 times, it would still not be done. They know how to take it from you, but not to give back.
Once again it's not a political arena lol to debate about it. You've gone through so, we all have rights to have differences with government, and I have no complaints. I just only wish and pray that medical insurance should be affordable, as my wife is diabetic and heart patient, I'm a recent diabetic, gotta lose weight to be under 200Lbs, my diabetes would be gone. I spoke to a friend of mine just a while ago, who recently got his citizenship and he told me that it's a great event, and you would really enjoy it. They would keep your green card and hand me the certificate of citizenship. He told me all the details and I'm excited about it on coming Thursday

Charlie, your last sentence " That's how they (we - I'm a municipal worker) ensure fairness. Treat 'em all equally bad. ;-) " it's funny lol.
He advised me to make my passport as well as the passport card.
