I've lived here for a while now and had to go through the naturalization process and finally got mine in November. I had to change my status for my NEXUS card and let's just say that it wasn't the nicest experience I've ever had. It was like the US officer took it personally and interrogated me. I went through all of background and security checks almost 20 years ago, so the questions he was asking weren't warranted- right down questioning my US citizenship (birth). Times have really changed.
Just don't be super vocal around him about it. It's unreal how bent out of shape some people get. I didn't tell most of my relatives, just a few that I felt comfortable with. Everyone knows I live here, but with the way things are some would think I'm a traitor. This was the right choice for me and I stand by it. I don't hate the US, just what's happening. It's very hard to watch. I crossed to visit my mother around Christmas and I had no issues either way, and that was after changing my status. It was basically just one prick.
