Re: US SSN for US Citizen born in Canada

Yes, been through all that already - which is how we found the Fort Gratiot, MI office that apparently deals with US citizens born in Ontario (or at least some parts of Ontario). Was more interested...

US SSN for US Citizen born in Canada

Has anyone recently been able to get a US Social Security Number (SSN) for a US citizen born in Canada? My grandson was born in London, Ontario and it seems there is a field office that deals with...

Re: Using consular birth registration certificate to get first UK passport

I was not able to use a consular birth cert to get my USA-born daughter's British passport recently. For the British passport application, I had to submit all the same paperwork that I had to submit...

Re: Traveling to UK Use American or British Passport ?

That's why I said this: Always show the US passport if you encounter a US immigration official.

Although the chances of encountering a US immigration official when exiting the US must be close to...

Re: Traveling to UK Use American or British Passport ?

The requirement for a US citizen to leave the US with a US passport doesn't necessarily mean using it to check in with the airline. Having it on your person is sufficient - that way, you are actually...

Re: Phone provider for receiving UK bank OTP codes in US

Re: BBC online now charging US located persons?

Why pay a BBC subscription fee when you could get a VPN for about the same price? Maybe even less. A VPN gives so much more flexibility. I have Nord VPN and can select a UK server and watch BBC, ITV,...

Re: Best way to renew a UK passport inside the USA?...

I did not send my US passport. I sent a colour photocopy. There's no way I'm sending my US passport anywhere. Even US passport renewals no longer ask for the old passport if you renew online.

Re: Traveling to UK Use American or British Passport ?

What you did is not the correct way to handle this. British (and Irish) citizens are not eligible for ETA.

Re: Dual Nationals ETA experience traveling to UK

I think they mean on the way back to the US, someone might harass them for leaving the US as a US citizen with a non-US passport (i.e. by using it at check-in). Probably got more chance of being...

Re: Anyone flown to the UK recently

Even if you are transiting, you don't need an ETA if you're not going through UK immigration.
