Andy, I'm quite sure you did some serious soul searching to reach your decision. I applaud you for it. And congratulations!
How long will the process take?

Is it because you've been in Texas to long, and our spelling has rubbed off on you?
Seriously though, I don't think you'll have any problems at all.

However, I've changed my mind - I'm going to use the money to apply for US citizenship and feel quite good about it. The scope will have to wait till whenever - this is more important
Congratulations on deciding to take the citizenship plunge. Hopefully you don't come to regret it after the upcoming elections.
Oh yeah, and it's no rebate. That is your hard-earned money that they have no right to.

And please vote. I hope you would make it before November. Usually, they accelerate the process for those who apply in the election year.
Welcome to being a USA' Citizen.

Best of luck, Andy, for a speedy completion of the process. I shudder to think that any test for citizenship might deny someone for simple spelling errors -- particularly if the "error" in question is an accepted spelling elsewhere in the world. I am sure it'll end up being a non-issue.

AndyC - I am glad that you made the decision to become a US citizen.
I think it will be the best investment that you will ever make.
You have already shown that you are a credit to the United States
and the Great State of Tesxas.
