DAP	you need to apply to the IND on a spouses visa it lasts 2 years then you can claim indefinate leave to remain after that. Once you have Indefinate leave to remain you can then apply for a british passport. www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ go here to get the form you need which is an FLR (M) I think!!!

online_mark123	No it doesn't. It can take a while to get the papers through and apply properly but I think you're given a short period of time to do this - around 3 months. Look at the home office website and they'll help you with this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

babyitsyou31	It looks like you will be able to retain your American citizenship, also. There seems to be a ceremony where you swear an oath. This site has a ton of data. A U.S. citizen may acquire foreign citizenship by marriage, or a person naturalized as a U.S. citizen may not lose the citizenship of the country of birth.U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship or another. Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.S. citizenship. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

VIRDS	same as the states. My wife has a spouse visa she from india and then we have to apply after 2 years to get her naturalised. Best thing to do is get in contact with the home office and they will let you know. I got my info from their website www.direct.gov.uk Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

paul1953uk	No, you do not automatically become a British citizen. If you want to become a British citizen it is easier to do so if your are white, have money and marry a Britain. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Goat herd	Youll have a much better chance of becoming a British citizen if you are an illegal immigrant and preferably a criminal with malicious intent to live solely off social security and crime. Anyone decent: forget it! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

elmjunburke	In most European countries, at least until the end of WW2 females who married men from another country were taken off the records of their birth country and were immediately carried as citizens of their husband's country. This went on for years but many American women objected to loosing their American citizenship, so now American women marrying foreigners can now claim duel citizenship. They di not automatically loose their American citizenship. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

msjazzyphd	not sure but i think so Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

goober_head_13	Don't know about British citizenship, but if you are a British Citizen, you forfeit your American citizenship since Americans can't be citizens of other countries & retain their U.S. citizenship. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ash_m_79	No you dont. You have to apply for British Citizenship. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chicawhappa-the-great	no - as in every country, you need to show some papers and get made into a citizen - rather than automatically become one. It doesn't take long in the UK though. Contact your local immigration office, or even just the city council office, they should be able to help you further. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

briandoogan13	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 Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
