I think it’s wonderful that you went the extra mile in your adoptive new country to become a citizen. Someday, I still hope to visit you there. I appreciate that you were thinking about others even as you passed this huge personal milestone. It’s great that you get to have dual citizenship. I think it would be hard to have to choose .
Each country was named alphabetically, with corresponding levels of response, depending on the number of applicants from each one. I think Chinese and Mexican were the biggest groups that day.

I think like many people I tend to take a lot for granted. Basic human rights for one, and a sureness that every American grows up with knowing that hard work and a bit a luck will carry them far. I’m not sure the same is true for some of the people I was with on Wednesday. You do not automatically get British citizenship if you were born in the UK.

Gifts to New Citizens
Something that makes them perfect for a citizenship ceremony is you can sometimes get them personalized with a date of your choice. This means you could use the date they became a Canadian citizen to make the mug special to them. Yes, we who are fortunate to live in places like the U.S. and U.K.
Thanks Miriam … having the dual citizenship will make things easier. Some Commonwealth citizens have ‘right of abode’ in the UK. This means you can live or work in the UK without immigration restrictions. Check if you can apply to prove you have right of abode in the UK.

My son-in-law became a US citizen several years ago. There were people from 16 different countries being awarded US citizenship that day — a very touching day for all. So ends a long journey that began more than four and a half years ago when I came back to the UK on a fiancé visa. I didn’t know then that I would apply for British citizenship and I’m happy that the only paperwork that remains now is that which is needed for my British passport. If you’ve applied for citizenship, you’ll need permission to stay in the UK until you’re granted citizenship. Your permission needs to last until you have had your citizenship ceremony.

It depends on when you were born and your parents’ circumstances. You need to check if you’re a British citizen.

It cements your right to always be in the Uk. Thanks for sharing your citizenship ceremony story, English Rider. Yours was massive compared to the one I had. I was happy to have a chance to get mine in before the end of the year. They’ve had so many folks they’ve had to have more than the one ceremony they usually have a month. I don’t know about the hat though, I look terrible in them.

My daughter became a citizen in North Carolina, in a much smaller ceremony, before a bow-tie wearing, retired judge. Members of The Daughters of The American Revolution welcomed new citizens there. I love that each occasion is tailored to fit.
I did the same thing in the US 28 years ago this coming May. A couple of years ago when I was visiting Georgia, I managed to obtain a ‘Senior Pass’ that allowed me access to places such as Yosemite free of charge. Unfortunately, they discovered I wasn’t an American citizen last year when I was there, and cancelled it! Having an American citizenship could have its advantages.
