Hi there fellow Brits!

I have found much discussion on people going through US Naturalization
process and being worried about having to forfeit their british
passport. I too am going through this process. I have my interview and
civics test on July 24th 2007. But as many Brits before me I have a few
concerns, especially giving up my british passport. Now as far as I have
researched on web sites such as findlaw.com and and the official
Britain/USA embassy web site, that dual citizenship is allowed.

I would love to hear from fellow brits who have gone through the process
and are dual nationals and hear their experiences and what they went
through to obtain dual nationality.

When I visited my local USCIS office, the immigrations officer told me
that I do not have to give my passport because the country which I was
born still recognizes me as a british national. Also that when I leave
the country I have to travel with both passports. The US passport to
leave the country and enter back. And the british one to enter and
leave the UK.

Please help! I would love to hear some other experiences and advice!

Cheers

Fatbrit

You don't need to do anything. Use your US passport to enter the US, and
the passport that gives you least hassle for elsewhere. Read
richw.org/dualcit.org for more info.

Patience? Also you can visit the wiki for US naturalization and do a
search on BE for naturalization. It is all there for just the looking.

There are people here with not 2 but 3 or 4 citizenships. My husband has
only two, Canadian and American. One girl had citizenship in Ireland,
British, American, and Canada. Another regular poster has British,
Canadian and American.

What do you want to know. You really didn't ask a question.

Replying to Karma,


Hi there my original question was as follows:

The process has not changed and is no different for anyone regardless of
nationality.

The experiences might seem old but the process has not changed over the
years. So you might want to check out the following experience site.

Strictly speaking, you could enter the UK on your US passport if the
thought of using 2 passports is too much for you. Of course, there's
always a chance you could be refused entry for a myriad of reasons (none
of which are to do with your dual citizenship), an event which would
certainly be interesting if possibly a little irritating for you. You
can't, of course, play this amusing game the other way round.
