Preparing To File N400

[inneedofhelp 1]

Happy New Year to all out there. Its been a while since i have been here, so my apologies if this post ends up in the wrong thread. Also, thank you in advance to those who reply with feedback/advice for me, much appreciated.

 

I am a GC holder at the moment, I renewed my GC back in 2020, long story short, I really didn't want to deal with Government paperwork during the Covid era, so i thought it would be a safe option to renew my GC so that there would be no issues for me to travel out of the country if the paperwork got held up for some reason or another.

 

I have a couple of questions regarding the process -

 

Am i able to be a dual citizen? I currently have my British passport and was wondering if i would have to give it up once i become a US Citizen (assuming i will be). I am married with 2 kids, i was also wondering if they could become dual citizens also, basically, can they have a UK passport also? My wife is American and my kids were born here in the US.

 

Has anyone come across any issues along the way regarding filling out the paperwork? Anything to pay special attention to?

 

I must admit, I am a little concerned about the "test" that occurs during this journey. Has anyone any advice/tips on what type of questions you are asked?

 

Looking forward to reading your responses, I hope everyones journey out there is going as smooth as it can go. Good luck to all.

You'll be a dual citizen. Sounds like your kids already are - unless you're British by descent, then your children were also British at birth. If they want to visit the UK, they need to enter on a UK passport so definitely worth getting theirs.

Someone I know is going through the process, well her children are and then the grandchildren, they are all USC's but can get a EU country passport through her.

 

Much easier if get it all sorted out when they are younger.

 

They keep on saying they are getting their citizenship, they are of course citizens but are unknown to their mother country.

 

I did meet a guy years back who had 6 Citizenships, I am sure that will not be the record.

You will be a dual unless you voluntarily give up British citizenship by following the process in the UK.
