Naturalisation for EEA/US parents of British children

Post by sjames » Sun May 22, 2016 3:12 pm

Hello everyone,
I kindly need advice with regards to my situation.

I am a Non-EEA family member, acquired PR last year June 2015 with my EEA national Spouse and our 3 children currently have their british passports.

I and my wife are planning to apply for our british naturalization next month after 12 months on PR.

Our situation is this:

1. We won US visa lottery last year 2015; traveled to the US with the whole family this year April for only 3 weeks to get our US permanent residence card.

2. Apart from the 3 weeks absence above, we have lived and worked in the UK since April 2010, excersing our treaty right (full time employment)

3. My question is; Will having US permanent residence status affect our application for British citizenship next month? We both have a stable job in the UK as a doctor/pharmacist with the NHS and also have 2 properties here.

I will appreciate any advice.

Thanks

To avoid confusion & jumbled responses, I have moved your question to its own thread (this one).

No. Especially since you are not actually honoring that PR anyway. You can always say that you'd gone, weren't impressed, and came back for good. You are not required to cancel any other countries visa's, PR's (which few countries offer anyway), or renounce any other citizenship when applying for or obtaining UK citizenship.
