Re: Settlement VAF4A

Thanks JAJ...

To answer your questions, we are planning to move to the UK as soon as we possibly can (my mother has Alzheimer's and we're returning home to help care for her). We would like to be...

Re: Settlement VAF4A

Re: From the USA to the UK. Questions

There will be no problem obtaining one for my child as my wife is a natural born American (as I am British) and my child will likely be born in the US. It's my obtaining a US one that is uncertain....

Re: From the USA to the UK. Questions

Re: US Citizenship

Where would you recommend as the best place to get the facts? It has been my experience that the Immigration office do not answer or return calls or offer advice.

Would it be worth contacting the...

Re: US Citizenship

Perhaps I should just check No on the box and hope for the best?

My form is complete and ready to go, this is my only hang up at this point and it is difficult to know how to proceed.

Back to something JAJ said earlier... why would my child need two passports to travel? Why would a British consulate birth certificate and British passport not be enough? Especially as all three of...

Thanks everyone for your help with this...

I had no real idea of what I was doing in 2001 and no-one really to instruct me (I wish I'd had these forums then).

I came into the country on a K-1 Fiance visa and gained PR after my probationary period was up. I was 25 when I entered the country in July, and although on the K-1 I wasn't able to work legally...

Re: N400 part 7 dates out of USA

Re: From the USA to the UK. Questions

Thanks again for all the advice.

Bromleygirl... I noticed you were in Cheyenne, I'm actually in Laramie where I've lived for the past 9 years (and only met 2 fellow Brits while I've been here).

Re: US Citizenship

Thanks for the response. How do you not say the oath, or a part of it, if it is required as a part of the ceremony?
