Dual Citizenship and Permanent Residence

[Feiticera1 0]

Hi All,

This is all a long way down the road, but I kinda feel like I need to know the answers so i know where this road is heading!

I am a UK citizen applying for an immigration visa with a US national. I am looking forward to moving over there, but we were hoping that at some point we would be able to spend some time living in the UK as well so we can travel etc..

Now I see that with a green card, I cant necessarily live outside the US - I lose the card unless I can prove some special circumstances that they would allow me to do so?

Am i able to apply for US citizenship later on so that I can come and go as I please, and still retain my UK citizenship so that we can come back here, and that our kids (yep further down the road we dont have those yet either) would have dual nationality?

Anyhow thanks, happy MLK Junior day!

Yes, you can become a US Citizen and not lose your UKC. Citizenship can be obtained 3 years after you become a LPR if you are still married to your USC spouse.

your gc is considered revoked if you stay out of the country for a year from what i've heard, if you plan on living in the uk..

UK is not a problem for dual citizenship, can stay there as long as you want, but still have to file tax returns to the good old USA, but at much lower rates. Provided if you are earning good money there.

Wife is forced to have dual citizenship with her home country, only way she can visit her family by DOS regulations and agreements. DOS does not like that dual citizenship word, prefer dual naturalization instead. But its dual citizenship, can't maintain your passport in that country without maintaining your citizenship in that country.
