A 68-year-old U.S. Army veteran was told that he must wait 90 days for a court decision that could determine whether he can become a U.S citizen based on his service during World War II. U.S. District Judge Gordon Thompson in San Diego refused to rule on the case brought by Gregorio Calantas Rivera, saying that there are two similar cases before the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, and the ruling on those cases could bear on Rivera’s suit.
