“Megahed wants to begin process of becoming U.S. citizen”

SNIPPET: “TAMPA - The attorney for former University of South Florida student Youssef Megahed, who last week defeated an attempt to be deported, will ask the federal government today to act on his client’s application for citizenship.

Megahed, 23, filed for citizenship about two years ago, the same time as the rest of his family applied, his attorney, Charles Kuck, said.

Three days before the Department of Homeland Security started presenting its evidence to deport Megahed as a terrorist, his parents and older brother became American citizens.

His father, Samir Megahed, mother, Ahlam, and older brother Yahia waved American flags and pledged to fight for the United States if called to arms.

Now, Kuck wants the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to begin the process of making Youssef Megahed a citizen.”
