So I was eligible for citizenship before I married my OH, marrying him just made it happened faster.
So the Passport makes me British, but if I did something noticeable people would say I'm Iranian born with British nationality.
Like one of the creators of "ebay" is Iranian born with American citizenship, so he would be Iranian-American.

Does that answer your question?

Thanks, wasn't prying or anything just curious if I had missed a bit of history but it sounds like just a coincidence.

No you havent except Iranian come out of Iran because of the strict Islamic regime, I've never lived there under that regime, but I have seen the pictures what those B**t**d are capable of.
So if you see a lot of us around the world, that's reason, most people would rather disown being called Iranian, they rather like to be called Persian.
