Here's a good site which explains the US position: http://www.richw.org/dualcit/ The US naturalisation oath does not have any effect under British law and the US doesn't care about you keeping British citizenship provided you deal with US authorities as if you were solely a US citizen. As I've noted - if you have had kids born in the US they are American citizens even if the rest of the family are not, and if you don't sort this out before leaving this could well cause a lot of discord later on.

Colin. It is not the case. Where did you hear otherwise? (a lot of British migrants in Australia have 'heard' the same thing about having to hand back their passports when they become Australian - totally untrue) If you ask on this forum, or some of the US forums, you should come across others who have naturalised in the US and have no problems keeping their British or Canadian passports.

For most, no job to go back to, no house etc and on top of that you have the expense of the removals etc. How do you manage it? Mandy We stayed with my parents on our return though and managed to save a good amount before moving into our new house but no where near what we spent on our 2 year holiday/adventure/experience/trip. :D |
