youi will have to go through a process just like the states to prove the marriage isnt a sham and I dont think england has dual citizenship which means that you'll only become a british citizen if you give up your u.s one

I believe you have to get married in the U.S. and live there.  Also the person you marry has to be a citizen of the U.S.

Your English isn't very clear.  I know that now if you get married, you get deported...because the U.S.A. would recognize that you were not a legal resident.\n\nThe question that you have is very hypothetical, because it depends on what the congress' new "rule of inmigration" is.

here in Indiana we got married with  my husband's birth certifacte from Mexico. Does your bf have any id from his country?  Also, if u file for his citizenship you are finically responsible for him for the next 10 years so make sure this is what u wanna do.Call the court to see if this will work and if it needs to be translated if u have any questions email me fineladysouth@yahoo.com

No there is no problem applying for citizenship regardless of who you marry.  However the rules for citizenship apply. Such as 5 year wait (3 for those who married citizens), 2 1/2 years physical presence in the US since your GC. Legal presence for all 5 (3) years. No felonies etc.

No, you have no basis to migrate to the UK.\n\nYou will need to have skills and qualifications or alternatively have a spouse that is a UK citizen.

If they are married the child will be a US Citizen. Many countries will allow a child to have dual citizenship, but he/she will have to choose a country at 18.\n\nMy dad is American and my mom is a British citizen, but is a legal alien, and we are all US citizens. We had the option of dual citizenship, but didn't see the point to it. I always knew I wanted to live my life here in America. You will have to check the specifics for Germany, but I'm sure they're probably the same.

no from my understanding u have to be married to a U.S citizen before u are eligible or u have to be here for so many years before u can get one

Well the easy way is to marry a british citizen.The govt. is cracking cown on social benefits.As a british citizen you'd be allowed to work anywhere in the EU.Try to get a work permit for UK and take it from there

Woah, you've asked a lot there.  Since you (a) are an alien in the UK, (b) your bride is not from the UK at all and (c) you want to get married on foreign soil, you've set up a very sophisticated, difficult immigration problem.  Consult a barrister in the U.K. first.

Do you mean that you were born in South Africa and are now a British citizen?  Or are you a South African citizen trying to get a British passport?\n\nCheck the consulate.

Yes you can. You will have to get a British Passport and an American Passport though.  The two countries have an agreement regarding dual citizenship.  You have a birth right to do so.    Mine is Canadian and UK

Getting married to a UK citizen will benefit you.  Thus, you can now apply as a citizen of UK and apply for a working visa.

No, not until your spouse applies to get you citizenship.  It's not automatic.

There is no automatic qualification as a British citizen.\n\nForeign nationals may apply for certificates of naturalisation  (and through that automatically become a citizen of the EU).\n\nApplicants must: \n\n- have lived legally in the United Kingdom for five years (the last year should have been free of any time limit);\n- be 18 or over\n- not be of unsound mind;\n- be of good character;\n- have sufficient knowledge of English, Welsh or Scottish Gaelic (depending on their age and physical and mental condition); and\n- stay closely connected with the United Kingdom.\n\nTo meet these residence requirements, you must not be absent from the United Kingdom for more than 450 days over the 5-year period, and you must not be absent for more than 90 days in the last year of the period.\n\nNB There is now an additional test in which you need to "demonstrate knowledge of life in the UK".

You do not lose U.S. citizenship by marrying -- at least not since 1922, and before that, it only happened to women.\n\nBut you can lose citizenship by renouncing it, so I would be careful how and what I signed other than the marriage certificate.
