Edit: And if you have kids, try to have them in the UK, that way they can claim dual nat as well through their father. Otherwise America will force them to chose when they hit 16 if they want to be British Citizens or American .

Oath of Allegiance



To become a citizen, one must take the oath of allegiance. By doing so, an applicant swears to:

• support the Constitution and obey the laws of the U.S.;
• renounce any foreign allegiance and/or foreign title; and
• bear arms for the Armed Forces of the U.S. or perform services for the government of the U.S. when required.

I still don't get it

Think about who is present when you make that Oath. Shouldn't be any British consular officials around.
