Have you also looked into the fact that whatever you collect in UK State Pension will reduce your Social Security retirement by that amount? So you're paying in to get a UK pension that reduces a US pension you are also paying into. Hopefully you've crunched the numbers and worked it out as a win.

Hi Wuozopo, yeah I’m aware of WEP and that if you declare a foreign pension it can reduce your US SS. However, a weekly contribution of £2.80 for a weekly pension of £165 is too good a deal to miss!

I already qualified for full pension before I left U.K. How many years do you have left to pay in?

Once your spouse took the oath taking, your spouse automatically withdrawn the UK citizenship, you have to call your local embassy on how to retain your spouse UK citizen and if UK is allowed for dual citizenship

Not true! If you renounce your British citizenship, perhaps. One time of day I was lead to believe that the USA does not recognize dual nationalities, but it is more common these days than of the past. Many I know will travel out on one passport and return with the other.

I don't research if I'm not  belong for that country, its a waste of time. I only do research what is applicable to me. So this line is irrelevant to me LOL!

I have had to research to help other people in these forums. It is not a waste of my time because I am becoming more knowledgeable about situations. If you post again and advise people please do your research. As @aaron2020 said most information you can find on google.

So you guys involved yourself with this topic where pretty much obvious it's an old one, please research as well before committing as an old topic should not be opened again, and repeated comments and advised are pretty much not helpful.

 

I hope the moderator can closed this topic to avoid further discussions.

That's all US really cares about at that point---that one exits and enters as a US citizen.  Besides, the US passport will list your country of birth anyway on the passport so it's not like you can hide the fact.

 

I had a CBP officer ask me once out of curiosity if I liked America more than Canada when he noticed I was a dual citizen...and I was afraid to answer that question until he whispered he wants to move to Canada one day lol

You can have both. My daughter had the British one first and then US. My son the other way round.

 

It's not an issue at all

Hi there --

 

I found this thread, which is now a few years old, and wanted to ask more definitively for anyone who has taken the oath more recently and was originally a UK citizen. My husband is about to take the oath himself, and from what I understand on the uk.gov, dual citizenship is totally recognized without any additional process involved. I'm also understanding that from this thread. 

 

Can someone help validate that? 

 

Thanks!

Your husband will remain a British citizen after oath. There's nothing to be done. If he had titles, orders of nobility etc that's when he has to lose them in order to become a US citizen.

 

After becoming a US / UK dual citizen, he'll need to leave and enter the US on US passport only. He'll be required to leave and enter the UK on UK passport only. Any third countries - he can pick whether to use UK or US passport.

No title or orders of nobility to report. Thank you for that nice and easy response!
