i have to agree with simon...i wish that the u.s. had the same rules as belize does...anyone can come in and have more rights than the citizens do....belize on the other hand, doesn't want anyone that can't sustain themselves for a year...another burden per se...u have to go thru the process, and once you do!!!!i tried for residency back in 2004, and failed, cuz i listened to others, instead of myself...i have another shot now and i will make it this time...u have to abide by the rules, don't cut corners....
