Silly question but generally curious..

[Tracey&Greg 35]

My husband is from the UK and came here on a K1 almost 11 years ago and we've been blessed with two amazing kiddos. Fast forward we are finally in a good place financially so citizenship is definitely in the stars soon. 

 

I did have a random question. With our children technically being eligible for dual citizenship, would they still be eligible after he becames a US citizen.. Is there a future of dual for our kiddos or is that the end of it? Either way I'm not fussed, generally curious. 

 

Thanks in advance! 💜

They are already dual citizens and eligible for British passports.  My kids are dual British/US citizens (born in the US) because their dad was born in the UK.

I'd definitely do that. Met a lot of British on my flights from and to EU back in the days (circa 2014). They sent their kids to UK / EU to study as the tuition fees were better. It helped the kids were dual US / UK citizens.

UK tuition is based on residency
