Susan: Why have you decided to become a US citizen?
Amir: My wife is American, and we chose to settle here in America.
Susan: Are you going to give up your Iranian citizenship?
Amir: Yes. It's too bad that Iran doesn't recognize dual citizenship.
原来,Amir的太太是美国人,所以他们决定"settle here in America" - 在美国定居。
Professor: Amir also says that he has to give up his Iranian citizenship because Iran doesn't recognize dual citizenship.
Dual, d-u-a-l, dual 是“双重”的意思。所以dual citizenship就是有双重国籍。Amir不得不放弃他的伊朗国籍,因为伊朗不承认双重国籍。
Susan: What is your immigration status right now?
Amir: Right now I am a permanent resident with a green card.
Susan: I see. How long will it take to become a citizen?
Amir: I'm not sure. Right now I am still finding all the documents I need. I will probably file my application next month.
Susan问Amir现在的immigration status - 移民身份,Amir说,他有green card - 绿卡,是permanent resident--美国永久居民。
Professor: That's right. How long will it take for Amir to become a citizen?
他也不知道。他说,目前他还在准备申请入籍所需的documents - 文档材料。不过,我听说,移民申请有时很慢,要等很久才能从政府那里得到答复。
