Re: Anyone return home without citizenship?
Thanks, lilybilly! Unfortuantely, I know my parents will only be able to come for about two weeks when I have the baby because of getting time off work. This is another stab in the heart, in a way, because I always imagined my family being around during those weeks of becoming a first time mum, and to be honest, I don't have close friends or family here to support me, so I'm a little scared.
Don't worry about a thing. Some how, some way it all just falls into place.

We are going back without.....we have had 5 years to get it in all and never have so I think that says something to me...

I ended up getting my Canadian Citizenship 10 days before I jumped ship. I only applied once I knew we were leaving (even though I'd be eligible for a few years) with the attitude if I get in great if not no big deal. Once we'd decided to leave I didn't want to hang around any longer than necessary, life's too short

have plans to get back to UK eventually so have applied for my citizenship, my family is probably not coming with me. So i need the option to come back if I need to, have been a GC holder for 9 years. Hubby and 3 teenagers are now US citizens, I always said No I am a brit! But circumstances change......still a brit first.

My older Ds moved back already, he was born here, and only lived there a short while as a little boy, but apparently he's always wanted to go home. Who knew, he never said anything until the last 12 months and I didn't quite believe him till he graduated Uni this spring.
Ds 2 wants to go too he graduates high school in 2012 so Dh and Dd and I will hopefully be right behind him I want us all to go at the same time, but we'll see. I want to go now!!

I know how you feel sometimes the practical or sensible thing gets in the way, in my case it was selling our house if we'd been renting a place I'd have left Canada a lot quicker and definitely without citizenship

I'm just curious if anyone here returned home without getting their citizenship in the country they were leaving. I have been holding out to get mine, but circumstances make me want to leave before that now and that is what we have been planning. There is still a part of me that wants that citizenship, but I also just want to go home now.
Anyone left without their citizenship, and do you regret it?
