            I didn't know the U.S. would let you be a dual citizen if you are over 21. In any case, congratulations Sarah for accomplishing your goal.

                    In the past they hadn't but for the past 15 years or so they have. I figured I would get it in before they change their mind again It isn't for every nationality but you can be dual with the UK. I would never give up being American but I am happy to be British too

                          Well, the first barrier is time and then you have to go through an application process that includes people writing me recommendations and then they have to check to see if they think you are of 'good character' and will be a benefit to their country.

                          For me this has included the following:

                          June 11 , 1996 - arriving in the UK

                          June 17, 1996 - registering witht he British police and home office to allow me to work here whilst on student work visa

                          October 26, 1996 - Getting married

                          Nov 1, 1996 - Going to Lunar House in Croydon (the immigration home office) and standing in a five hour long line to register my marriage and be given temporary rights to residency

                          Nov 1, 1997 - Having to go back one year after our marriage and prove we are still married and that we love each other (loved that they could decide that) in another five hour line to be granted permenant residency rights and given a nice green stamp in my American passport that states I am allowed to stay in the UK

                          Years of hard work and paying taxes (all countries like that bit)

                          2001 - Being granted the right to vote

                          2004 - Started filling out the application for citizenship and got references but then my husband died and I had to redo the forms to say widow because that is different than applying when married to a British citizen

                          2005 - finally getting to the emotional state to apply again as a widow and using a bit of my husband's pension (which wasn't much at all) to apply because there was a charge of about $500 to apply

                          September 28 2005 - Dancing for joy

                          My ceremony is sometime in November

                                        Indian food..which oddly is the most popular dish in the UK (well, not that odd since it was part of the Empire). Think 'Chilli' but not exactly.

                                                                maybe there is some laws i dont know about (ex: owning property) and that's why u got it...

Its the same as us Europeans wanna stay in the US, you gotta apply every 3 months again. Thats gone now for her. Workin permits too.

                                                                            being a US citizen pretty much opens the door to every country in the world, so who cares about british... also, for the most part that country is very overpriced.

                                                                            maybe there is some laws i dont know about (ex: owning property) and that's why u got it...

                                                                            Wrong...i could have stayed here for 3 months with a normal tourist visa..6 on the student work visa. Not even being married to a British citizen qualified me to stay here on its own..I had to apply and prove my marriage was one of love. The right to work in a country other than the USA is not one you get easily.

                                                                            Then there is the rights to a state pension, the right to vote, the right to a British passport..now I have the right to live and work anywhere in the EU that I should ever desire in my life not to mention more easy of moving about within the British Commonwealth. Most importantly, I can live where I have lived my entire adult life without having "half-rights" or the fear of someone pushing paper to decide that now my husband is dead it is time for me to go 'home'.

                                                                            Do you know that I haven't been able to get a checking account in this country for nine years? That is because as soon as you are seen not to be British - or atleast EU - they say no. Now, they can't use that as a reason by law.

                                                                            This country has been very good to me...I wanted to say thanks.
