Im trying to put things in place in the event that at some stage I get approval.. However I have turned my house upside down looking for my birth certificate and can't find it.. If it does end up lost for good can I get round this.. I am a British Citizen but, as my father was in the army I was born in Germany. Will this cause extra hassle..

My guess would be that not many people still have their original birth certificate. Mine is 53 years old but looks like it's from the late 1800s and one of the reasons I still have it is that I've cherished and protected it and never gave it to anyone. I wouldn't mail it for any reason, that's for sure.

For immigration purposes a certified copy will do just fine.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
