I think the British gov't might have a sense of humour
 

So, my application form for dual citizenship arrived today after asking for it months ago. I wonder how hard they had to work to deliver an application to become British to an American on the 4th of July :)

Congrats it is perfect timing :)

I love it . Most brits want out because of house prices and you want in!

Not meaning to snoop but because of the death of your husband will in effect your application?

I had already filled in an application before he died but I requested a new one because I had to change it to say I am a widow. It shouldn't effect me because I have been here nearly double the time someone that isn't even married to a British citizen needs to be here. That said, I am still a bit nervous that they will still find a reason to say no. Everyone tells me that I shouldn't worry though.

The form is funny btw..it asks just a few personal details and then asks me if I have ever been involved in genocide. Oh and it costs £268 to become a British Citizen.

I could really see them being total bitches and throwing out your application. I like the application forms to get into the US. Are you a member of the Nazi party? I wish you all the best of luck and I am sure everything will go through fine.

OK People.... it is now official.

Sarah is renouncing her American-ness.
She is discarding the US flag.
She is leaving the big apple homeland.

Sarah has now officially applying to become a (da...da... daaaa...) British Ciziten.

Before you leave Sarah, why don't you drink and enjoy this day with us? ;)

no...DUAL citizenship....meaning I will be both British AND American. I would never give up being an American.

Congrats on your new citizinship!

I moved into my new UK office today.. independance day has a special meaning for me as well today!

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

On the American side, I went with a friend to be a witness for him to get U.S. citizenship and they asked him if he has ever been with a prostitue. It was actually on the interview form. Are there any questions dealing with sex on the British form?

none at all..only genocide and terrorism
