Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thanks Maria, that's very helpful! I shall get to the consulate ASAP. I need to renew my US passport anyway.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
No problem, Fiona! I have dual U.S.-Italian citizenship, and I was just asked a similar question by a family friend so my recall (and links list) was very fresh.
Good luck!
And Jars, I forgot to tell you congrats on impending motherhood!
Lurkers, it is so nice to hear from you. Congratulations, sympathy, and ~ma as necessary to each of you. Please don't be strangers.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Fiona! Jars! So nice to see you.
Maria, thank you for the info - we're dealing with dual citizenship questions right now. Gotta get Peanut's paperwork in order.

Jars, it shouldn't be a problem for your DH to obtain UK citizenship and keep his U.S.
Phew! Thanks!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know if I'm more relieved or dismayed that I only have the one option for citizenship!

Bob got Canadian citizenship as an adult (& kept his US one).

My nephew's grandfather (on his mom's side) was born in Ireland, and I keep telling him to go for citizenship. It opens up the whole EU to him.
Why was my dad not born on St. Pierre?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I need to marry a Scotsman.
I keep saying this!
I checked a few years ago and having a Canadian grandfather didn't make me eligible for citizenship. I wonder if that's changed.
