Hi everyone, this is my first time posting, but I've read a bunch of really helpful info already and am very grateful for this site and for anybody's input! My fiance is English, and for the boxes labeled "Citizenship/Nationality", should he type in "British" or "United Kingdom"? Similarly, in the 129F application, under his "State/Country" box, do I just type in "England/UK"? Finally, when the form asks for "country of citizenship", do I type in "England", "United Kingdom", or "Great Britain"? Maybe it doesn't even matter too much how I format it exactly, but would just like to do everything to the letter. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would put

Citizenship/Nationality: British (says this in passport)

Country: England

Country of Citizenship: England

I am a Brit by birth :) so I'm not just a random Aussie trying to sabotage you ;) haha.

In all honesty, I don't think it matters a great deal :)

Good luck!

I was exactly the same this time last week.

It really shouldn't have been as stressful and difficult as I made it out to be. Visa Journey is a fantastic resource!

All the best! x

I do not think it really matters but in my opinion is would put:

Citizenship/Nationality - British

State/Country - I am from Oxford so i put Oxford as my State and England for the Country

Country of Citizenship - I put Great Britain or United Kingdom, the reason i did this is because technically our country is not England we are actually from Great Britain/United Kingdom but England/Ireland/Scotland/Wales make up United Kingdom/Great Britain. I also put this as on my passport it states that my passport is for United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland so United Kingdom/Great Britain it is!

Too be honest, i am sure they will not pull you up on this but filling out these forms turns people in a wreck and makes you doubt and question everything!

Good Luck

British for nationality and UK for country. It doesn't really matter what you put, but UK would be the proper political term.
