Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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!

Punishingly Intricate

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

hip deep in pie

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.

I think you need one parent to have been a Canadian citizen.

Yeah, that's what it was. Oh well. AFAIK my father wasn't, he was born in Michigan.
