Her husband wanted to vote so badly. Said he probably should fly down to Mexico and cross the board illegally to become a citizen faster….😂

How long has he held a green card? After 5 yrs you can file for expediting the process. When we did that, we had our naturalization process completed appx six months later instead of having to wait the full 10 years.
Thing is though once you're naturalised it destroys your tax position and you pay $$$ forever on your worldwide income.
Good thing i keep my work and money at home stateside. Never was much enticed by the global egg basket.
I'm in UK and have family members in US on green cards. Hard to know which currency horse to back. My opinion is that both GBP and USD will be in a big decline (because BRICS) but USD will not be hit so hard because of the sheer size of the US means it can be self-sufficient if it really has to. UK not so much.
tl;dr You are better off keeping your money in dollars than pounds but anyone naturalised should watch out for the future for global assets they forgot about. Even UK state pension would mean gimmetax.
