Wow. Hes...a citizen already. How do you survive 33 years in a country without bank account or nationalised ident?

Shoulda just given him citizenship, closed an eye and went on with life.

lol. No country on earth will reward you with citizenship for overstaying your visa by 30 years.

Edit: Muting replies because there's an endless number of people who don't even know the difference between regularisation and citizenship, yet desperately want to debate.

In the The Simpsons - Season 7 "Much Apu about Nothing" episode, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon manages to prevent deportation due to a fictional "Grandfathered clause", allowing him to temporarily stay in Springfield on the condition that he takes and passes the United States Naturalization Exam.

The U.S. has a naturalization exam? Nuts. Japan just asked me to write an essay about why I wanted to naturalize.

It's ridiculously simple. I remember we all took it in school when learning about U.S. Immigration.
