			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Most people want to live the American dream and become a citizen of the United States so they can have the opportunity to start their own business. When the government denies you citizenship there are still things you can do to live the dream.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are so many people who want to come to the United States because of the opportunity of starting their own business. It may seem impossible to get your own location or come up with the money it takes to start a business. Your government may even prohibit you from starting a company and that is why you want to come to the US. Guess what, you don’t have to go the America to start your own company on the Internet. There are no limitations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Starting an online business doesn’t require you to be a citizen of the United States. The beauty of the World Wide Web is that it is global. All you need is a computer and a connection to the Internet. You can start your own online business from the comfort of your own home. There is no boundary limitation to an online business and if you want to be an American to do this then you might think again. Plus, the cost of living in the United States is substantially than most other countries. When you work out of the US you can save a lot of money by paying less to live.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All hope is not lost if you are denied citizenship into the US. Another reason you should consider an online business is that you don’t even have to have a product. You can have a retail business selling things like <a href="http://www.balsamhill.com/" target="_blank">Christmas trees</a> and <a href="http://www.christmastreemarket.com/" target="_blank">artificial Christmas trees</a>. It might surprise you how many people purchase <a href="http://www.treetopia.com/colored-artificial-christmas-trees-p/tuxedo-black-tree.htm" target="_blank">artificial Christmas trees</a> when it is not even the holiday.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You shouldn’t be down and out if you are denied citizenship into the United States. Right now, business owners have it much worse than other businesses in a different country. If you still want to start your own business online then you most likely won’t have to pay half of the taxes that an American business does. Americans lose a lot of money when they own a business because the government wants to take so much of the profit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the benefits of a home based business online is that you don’t have to become an American to start one. One thing to keep in mind is that you can make your online business appear to be American if you want to. Some people think that they will make more money if they are based out of the United States. This isn’t the case but you can put a United States address like a post office box for your business. Then all you have to do is forward the mail to where you are located.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Being denied citizenship doesn’t mean that you cannot live the dream of owning your own business one day. Even if you are denied through the government you can still start an online business no matter where you live in the world. Another thing to remember is that you do not need an American education to start your own online business. You might even find the decision of the American government actually was better for you in the long run.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When you are an illegal alien applying for citizenship of the United States there are many things you should consider about your employment status. In most cases, your employment may be what gets you the approval. Here are five things to consider starting your own company on the Internet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Coming from another country, chances are good you speak fluently another language and not only English. This gives you an edge over most sites on the web that are only available in English. Your target audience is not limited to people in the United States or those who speak English. You can have a truly global business and sell your <a href="http://www.artificialtrees.com/" target="_blank">artificial Christmas trees</a> for example.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. You do not need an American education to start your own business on the Internet. Starting a business online requires a computer, a connection to the Internet, product or service (<a href="http://www.balsamhill.com/Prelit-Artificial-Christmas-Trees-s/24.htm" target="_blank">prelit Christmas trees</a> in our example), and the time it takes to be successful. There is no certificate you need to acquire or anything. You can find all of the instructions and tips you need on the Internet to walk you through the steps for starting your own business on the Internet. A degree program is very expensive and there is no reason to waste the money on an education if you are not going to make enough money to absorb the costs and survive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Starting an online business is total freedom for you. Going through the citizenship process may be very time consuming for many people. It can be hard to get the time off from your employer. When you start an online business you work for you and no one else. There is no one to tell you what you can or cannot do.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. You have control of your income. If you want to come to the United States so you can be guaranteed a minimum wage of $7.00 an hour, think again. You can make a ton of money online. If you are willing to put in more hours than a 40 hour week you could triple a minimum wage check. People make hundreds of dollars a day when they work online. You control your income and the better you get at your online business, the more money you will make.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">5. You are the only factor stopping you from succeeding with an online business. Standard business model restricts you to a local economy, blocked streets due to construction, and a need for your product. There are so many ways your business can make money online that your success is entirely up to you how well you do. If you are willing to put the time in then you will make the money and enjoy under your <a href="http://www.treetopia.com/" target="_blank">Christmas tree</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are so many reasons to start an online business if you are considering coming to the United States and applying for citizenship. One thing to keep in mind is that you can start your business before you even come to the states. You don’t need an education, you have a benefit of being bilingual, and you will have more freedom with your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">There are many factors you must keep in mind if you want to become a citizen of the United States. These factors include age, residency, presence, education, and your knowledge of the history of the United States.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want to become a citizen of the United States you can apply through <a href="http://www.uscitizenship.info/" target="_blank">immigration</a> when you become an adult. You must be at least 18 years of age to be able to start the application process to become a citizen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the stipulations of becoming a permanent resident is that you must have been admitted into a lawful permanent resident for at least five years. Three years if you have obtained a Green Card through marrying a permanent resident. This information must be verifiable. You cannot just say you were sleeping in the basement of a bathroom vanity shop.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of the five year requirement for status in the United States, you must have been physically present in the country for at least half of that time period. If you married a U.S. citizen you must have resided with your spouse for at least half of the three year requirement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you want to become a citizen of the United States you must be a good standing citizen with good moral character. This is required for the entire duration of your stay and through the minimum required time frame of three or five years. This means you must not be breaking the law in any way. If you get into trouble with the law for drinking while driving or you commit a felony you may be sent back to your original country. If you are sent back to your country for breaking the law you may ruin your chances for ever becoming a citizen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You must also have a level of understanding of the basics of the English language. You should have skills in reading, writing, and understanding. You will also be tested on your knowledge of the history of the United States government.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you meet the above requirements you can apply to become a citizen of the US. If you marry a person who is already a legal resident in the country it can speed up the process but it will not guarantee you become a legal resident. Having <a href="http://www.jewelryus.com/Wedding-Rings" target="_blank">wedding rings</a> is not enough to gain citizenship. You will need to reside in the country for a period of time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gaining permanent residency into the United States is something many people wish they could do. There is a process you must follow. You must be an adult before you can begin the process. You must not break any laws and you must have a legal residence in the US for up to five years. It is best to gain work and an education so you are accepted. If you are not working or contributing to the economic value of the country you may be denied status. The best way to gain status is by living a good life and being a good person.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When you apply for citizenship of the United States it is best if you have a job and you are working. There are many reasons why you should obtain work. These include being a good citizen, having a positive effect on the economy, and more.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you apply for status into the US you should have a job. The primary reason you should have employment is to prove that you want to be a withstanding and responsible citizen. If you hold work but get paid under the table this is not acceptable. It is illegal and will not be okay. You must have an actual job and be paying taxes. Your job must be verifiable also. You should not hold a job and the only way you can verify your job is through bank deposits. This will look to the government as if you are doing something illegal for your work and it will be frowned upon. You should hold a responsible job for a long period of time. If you become an executive or a high paying officer of a company you have a better chance of becoming a resident.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You will also gain your <a href="http://www.usagreencardlottery.org/" target="_blank">green card</a> faster if you start your own business. When you start your own business in the United States you are having a positive effect on your local economy. This is a good thing and will be looked upon as positive. This is because business owners in the United States have to pay very high taxes. Your business provides a need to the local economy and you also pay the government a ton of money. You will gain citizenship faster the more money you are paying into the government as taxes and other fees. It doesn’t matter the type of business you have. You might make <a href="http://www.candledelirium.com/" target="_blank">candles</a> for a living and sell them to people in a little shop. You can even be an Internet marketing consultant. The market for employment in the US is open to anyone to work any position they want to do.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you do not hold a job while you are waiting for the government to approve you for status as a citizen in the United States it will be frowned upon. You cannot sit around all day long and do nothing because it will look bad. Even if you have a lot of money and you do not need to work, you should. When you hold employment it gives you a tie to the country and if you have an employer who can vouch that you are an asset to the company this can be even better for you.  You should not sit around and do nothing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Employment is important when you apply for citizenship and you are waiting for the United States government to approve you. You should have an honorable job. The more skills you obtained the more valuable you are to the country. Owning your own business is a better decision because the government will be getting more money from you and you will be contributing to your local economy.</p>
