Could start up a sideline, cut-rate US Nat papers going, going gone at $400 each. One careful owner, only driven on Sundays....

And to anyone who wants to put their hand over their heart and swear "....no alleigance to any foreign prince or potentate" or whatever the hell the oath states.......

WORD TO THE WISE......PLEASE DO CHECK YOUR NAT CERTS ARE CORRECT AS THE INFALLIBLE INS DOES ACTUALLY SCREW IT UP AT TIMES.....

........and you end up having to deal with them again.

I seem to recal having to explain why during an interview.......I got a letter from the SS ( ) stating to the effect that any benefits otherwise granted as a result of registering for the draft, sorry, inactive draft list would be at the discretion of the agency in question........its never been a problem so far.

check out http://www.sss.gov/

Technically you should sign up for it when you enter, but if you have 5 years good moral character after age 26, you can file without signing for SS...

As for Q18...you have to list them.

Looks like I'll have to get a letter form SSS and explain why I didn't register. IIRC my wife (fiancee at the time) said there was no way she was letting me sign up for selective service. She has a grudge against the military for some reason.

Thanks Bob,

Oh.......come........on Norman, as if someone arriving from the UK could have had a straight 5 years at any time.........

I don't think that excuse will be acceptable.

hehe

your right, it won't be...but if EM is 31 now and not got into any trouble, it wouldn't matter that he hadn't signed up for SS

Just turned 35 on Sunday. Never been in trouble except for a few speeding tickets.

Another quick question...
I know I've seen it on here somewhere but can somebody give me a link to something that I can show my wife that I will maintain my UK citizenship even after I go through with the US citizen deal. She is all panicky about this whole renouncing of my UK citizenship.

Ta verry much

My friend became a citizen. Actually against her will, but her mother wanted to come here and that was the only way. Anyway, she is a US citizen, but still has her Brit passport and of course her birth certificate. You can't change where you were born and as someone else kindly pointed out to me:
Britain doesn't care what other nationality you are, so you will always be considered British no matter what you do.

The UK doesn't recognise US law, so they don't recognise that statement in the naturalisation ceremony about renouncing citizenships....only way to renounce your UK citizenship is through the embassy or that sort of thing, it's a process and not much point to it unless you want a security clearance in the US, and even that isn't a guaranteed thing.

There are some nations that don't allow dual citizenship though, but the UK ain't one of them.
