Even american citizenship can be revoked many years after it is attained if it is found that it was got through fraud.Marriage fraud that is.So do not think it is ever home run.A word is enough for the wise.

Tooth discoloration

There are two categories of staining as it relates to the teeth: extrinsic staining and intrinsic staining.
Extrinsic stains are those that appear on the surface of the teeth as a result of exposure to dark-coloured beverages, foods and tobacco, and routine wear and tear. Superficial extrinsic stains are minor and can be removed with brushing and prophylactic dental cleaning. Stubborn extrinsic stains can be removed with more involved efforts, like teeth bleaching.

Persistent extrinsic stains can penetrate into the dentin and become ingrained if they are not dealt with early. Intrinsic stains are those that form on the interior of teeth. Intrinsic stains result from trauma, ageing, exposure to minerals (like tetracycline) during tooth formation and/or excessive ingestion of fluoride.

Chemical burns to the soft tissues from gel bleaching
Rebound, or teeth losing the bleached effect, particularly with the intensive treatments
Pain if you have "sensitive teeth" caused by open dentinal tubules.
But as we age the teeth become darker, so dont expect bleaching to be a permanent solution. In office bleaching is very expensive and will require you to return to the dental office a couple of times.

For the mean time, you can try crest whitening strips over the counter available in stores.
For home made remedies, you can start with  baking soda  grin

The first, and safest, method for lifting stains from teeth is to brush them with baking soda. It sounds odd, but baking soda is incredibly powerful, breaking up the stains in each tooth at a molecular level and scrubbing them away. It also polishes the surface of teeth, leaving them shiny and bright, and neutralizes bacteria and odors. What's more, baking soda is very safe, and it won't wear away protective enamel or cause tooth sensitivity.

Other ideas and Home remedies

Mixture of baking soda (half tablespoon), vinegar (half teaspoon), and pinch of table salt is effective for removing teeth stains and to keep your teeth white and bacteria free. This is one of the best home remedies for teeth whitening.
Take a half tablespoon baking soda and mix one-two drops of hydrogen peroxide in it. You can use this homemade teeth whitener for couple of days in a week. This teeth whitening paste will remove stain from your teeth. Their can be little irritation in the gums in some cases, but it will not harm your mouth and teeth. This is one of the important home remedies for teeth whitening.

Mixture of baking soda and home used iodine rich salt is also used as a natural teeth cleanser. Take baking soda one teaspoon, mix a pinch of salt in it and use this natural homemade teeth whitener. This is an effective home treatment for teeth whitening.

The Rind of orange fruit which has teeth whitening properties is also used for teeth whitening. Rub the inner portion of the rind of orange and see its effective result in one week.

Brushing the stained teeth using sage (salvia) leaves makes the teeth sparkly white. Sage leaves (salvia) are also used in various medicines for relieving Teeth Whitening problem, sweating problem, and many others. One of the useful home remedies for teeth whitening.
Politics / Us Detains 'no-fly' Passenger In Puerto Rico by Zagaza: 7:48pm On Apr 23, 2010
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — U.S. federal agents detained a passenger Thursday on a New York-bound jet from West Africa, with the jet's captain telling passengers the man was on a 'no-fly' list and ineligible for international travel for undisclosed security reasons.

Customs and Border Protection agents detained the man while the Delta Air Lines jet stopped to refuel in San Juan, Puerto Rico after an overnight trip from Dakar, Senegal. The flight originated in Nigeria, the native country of a man accused of boarding a Detroit-bound airplane from Amsterdam in December with a bomb hidden in his underwear.

It was unclear if the man detained in Puerto Rico boarded the plane in Nigeria or Senegal, and his name and nationality were not disclosed. He was not immediately charged with any crime and Customs and Border Protection issued a statement identifying him only as "potential person of interest," who was removed from the flight for questioning.

Agency officials declined to provide further details.

But passengers told The Associated Press that the captain announced over the intercom that a passenger had been identified as being on a no-fly list while the jet was over the Atlantic. He made the announcement shortly after a U.S. agent escorted the man in a T-shirt and jeans off the plane.

The captain described the passenger as a "serious security risk," said Joan Mower, a passenger from Washington. The flight continued on to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport afterward.

"The good news is nothing happened, we're all safe," Mower said. "The question is how did a guy who is on the no-fly list get on a Delta Air Lines plane headed for New York without Delta knowing it?"

"He told us all of this and he was clearly not happy about it," Mower said.

Passenger Nbaye Beye said the man, who appeared to be in his late 20s, appeared nervous when approached by a U.S. agent but got off the plane quietly.

"The other passengers were nervous but everyone was sitting calm and cool," passenger Hassane Diallo told Associated Press Television News.

Delta vetted all passengers as required, checking to see if any are on a no-fly list, when the plane took off from Dakar, Senegal, said spokeswoman Susan Elliott.

U.S. authorities declined to say why the man was determined to be a security risk.

Flight 215 had taken off from Abuja, Nigeria on late Wednesday and stopped in Dakar, Senegal early Thursday before heading to New York. Delta said the diversion to Puerto Rico was to refuel. Elliott said such a diversion is not unusual for a full flight that runs into trans-Atlantic headwinds and was not related to the detention of the passenger.
