Dual Citizenship wanted. British Passport but my kids are USA
Firstly, I apologise if this subject has already been discussed.
I am British holding permanent residency in the USA for 17 years now. My husband, and children hold USA citizenship. I do not want to renounce my British citizenship but realise for the sake of my husband and children we need to all have the same passports - for the sake of easier travel etc. I have had so many different comments and answers to holding Dual Citizenship. Any advice, links, and whether or not this can still be done would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
Re: Dual Citizenship wanted. British Passport but my kids are USA
Providing your children were born after 1983 then they will already hold dual citizenship - US by birth, British by descent. They need only apply for their British passports.
Should you wish to naturalise as a US citizen then feel free to do so. It will have no effect whatsoever on your British citizenship. |

If you become a USC and obtain a US passport, you will not have renounced your British citizenship, you will have become a dual citizen.

Many of us here are dual UK/US citizens and have 2 valid passports... because we were born in the UK and later naturalized as US citizens. Some of us, including me, have 3 citizenships and 3 valid passports. At least one member here has 4 citizenships and 4 valid passports! Ian |
Re: Dual Citizenship wanted. British Passport but my kids are USA
As others have said, you do not lose your British citizenship (or passport) if you become a US citizen. Some countries don't allow their citizens to hold multiple citizenships but the US and the UK are not among them. I started off with Irish and British citizenship by birth in Northern Ireland. I have since acquired Canadian and US citizenship by naturalization and now hold 4 citizenships (as do my 4 kids). My wife holds 3 (UK, Canada and US).

I'm not yet sure how to respond to each one individually but I do want to say thank you everyone so much. This is so reassuring. I've been told many times that I could not hold USA and British passports! I will be looking into proceeding now with it.

Wow, thank you. I am amazed at how quickly I got results on here, and yet whenever I asked about it, I was told it was no longer possible. Again, thanks everyone. I really appreciate it.
