I assume 90% of us here are British expats, right? So, have everyone decided to get US citizenship? Is that a practicality thing? Whatever I do here, I will always be British. Do you all feel the same?
Apologies if this has been done to death - I guess I'm the new guy (even though I apperently joined in 2002 and promptly forgot about it!).

Nope I am only here for a few years - any longer i would probably go for GC rather than citizenship i think......

GC holder here, have been for almost 2 decades and will probably stay that way.

GC Holder. Contemplate citizenship for the kids. Other than that I have no intention of spending the rest of my life here so no need.

Angry White Pyjamas

Sugarmooma - tell me why. I have my GC also.

Angry White Pyjamas

Oh no not as of yet. Still moving oop north as before but have to see what happens after that.

When are you moving down here?

Manc

where you moving too up north?

anotherlimey

I just moved - made the long drive over last weekend.

So when are you off up north?

Why not?
There are only a few things you cant do as a GC holder and I'm not particularly bothered about them

You can't vote
You can't sit on a jury

Chorlton

Yeah I know. I'm trying to find what the general feeling is, thats all

I was up for doing the natz process but, now we've decided to move back to the UK next year, I won't be here long enough, (having said that I'll be here long enough to pay more fees to the USCIS when I apply to remove conditions next March)!

I think your kin get done for more taxes on death if you are not a US citizen and were still living here at that time. Personally I wil go for dual citizenship although the nearest I can see that happening is 4 yrs away so if I am still alive and kicking........
