Hey immigrants, you might want to be hesitant about this, the word "can" is not legally binding. It should be "shall." Also, you're already there, I doubt you'll get paid.

What's a renunciation fee or are you saying they'll announce one?

[–] boatswain 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's a fee for people who want to renounce their US citizenship.
