For me to become a British citizen I need to live here for 6 years. I came here in 2010 so I am half of the years I need for me to have one. Coming here has been very difficult. I need to pass an English exam, apply for a visa and the long wait for having one. I first join this forum asking of the things I need to expect coming here. And now I've been here for 3 long years and still counting. Life in the UK is different and challenging. I am loving it but I still misses home at times.
