Oh, I see! Wow, the process is complicated, huh? You've been here eight years? Could you apply for citizenship if you wanted it, or does the clock start now?

I gotta wait five years before I apply for citizenship. However, I may be lucky to have got my green card this year because in 4 years there will be another election, so they will be pushing citizenships through faster in order to get more voters, so maybe in the next 4 years I'll apply. Citizenship is relatively easy to get once you're a resident though.
