Re: Need help-British national living in the us
I sympathise with you but please consider what Sue, Meauxna and I have already said about your US status. You need to know all your options...you are only 20 with the whole world at your feet. Keep your options open as far as the US is concerned...get advice and our Imm forum is the first place to start.

You can send me a Private Message here but I'm sorry I can't help you with any questions about US Immigration...that's what BE's Immigration forum is for.

Re: Need help-British national living in the us
It has been quite a number of years since a child could be included on the parents' passport, so I think Mum would have to start with an application for a new passport?
Presumably the parents also cannot leave the US so if he goes to the UK he might not be able to see them again.

Yes but I'm saying I think the Mum is going to have to start from scratch on that if it's been a long time since she had a passport.

Re: Need help-British national living in the us
Since my mum doesn't have her passport, and i need her information, do i need to go get her passport first?
And what would happen if my mum wasn't here u know if she was deceased or something, would that mean i could never apply for my passport since she doesn't have hers?
the form online tells me i need her pp information

Edit: Here's Dean's reply.
BTW this will not happen overnight. At the moment renewals are taking approx 3 months...it will be probably be longer for a new PP.

Also, you need to be more patient. There is one person from this entire site (maybe 2) who I think can help you. You just need to wait more than a few hours for him to turn up.

BTW I think our Moving Back To The UK Forum will be very helpful to you. We have a great crowd of very helpful members who post in those forums...so if you post any questions you may have regarding the move home I'm sure you get some helpful replies. Also take a look in the BE Wiki.

Re: Need help-British national living in the us
Welcome to BE!
I can see you're already finding the forum helpful in resolving some of your issues. I do have a suggestion for you. Do you think it might be possible for you to find an immigration attorney and get a free consultation on what you can do to get legal resident status in the US as well? I understand your need for ID, I really do. But if I were in your situation I would see what I could do to fix my status in the US before I made any plans to move to the UK again. Since you might be unable to come back to the US again.
