I took the Citizenship test back last year and now I have a US passport as well as my UK passport, I'm traveling to the UK in a few days and I'm not really sure what I should do, can I travel to the UK on my UK passport and return on the US passport??? OR do I have to travel on the US passport both ways.

Bring both passports with you. Enter the UK on your UK passport. Enter the USA on your USA passport.

Hi,

Do you have to give up your citizenship for the UK if you become a citizen of the US?

Thanks

basically you have to enter and leave the US on your US passport AFAIK. Since you have to leave on your US passport I'm not sure if that means you have to enter the UK on it, too, or if they don't keep track of these things.

No, but you do give up certain wonderful benefits... like being able to serve in her majesty's armed forces! Essentially the US turns a blind eye to your UK passport unless you start flouting it, then it gets pissy!
