The Canadian artist said he wants to become a dual citizen and hopes to vote in the 2020 presidential election
But the Canadian singer-songwriter says his citizenship application is being held up because he uses marijuana. "When I recently applied for American citizenship, I passed the test. It was a conversation where I was asked many questions. I answered them truthfully and passed," Young said in a statement on his Neil Young Archives website.
"Individuals who commit federal controlled substance violations face potential immigration consequences under the Immigration and Nationality Act , which applies to all foreign nationals regardless of the state or jurisdiction in which they reside," an agency spokesperson said in a statement to CNN.
