Im american and married a British Citizen. Now what? Advice?

I married a man from England in Feb. I am currently living with him in England. I am not able to work because I am here only on a travel visa (6 months.) We will be moving to the States when our paperwork moves forward.


First question:


1. What can I do so I may work within England until we move back? Is this process easy and fast?





2. How long will my hubands J1 work visa take?





3. When we have children in the USA, I know that my children will become American Citizens, but, will they have duel citizenship in England?





4. Where is the best country to consider having my children?





Thanks a million for your responses. What a difficult and long process this has become.Im american and married a British Citizen. Now what? Advice?
if you've been together more than five years already, just apply for citizenship now .: any children will have dual nationalities





you're likely 2need a permit 2work if you've been here less than 5 years subject 2 your status here

i would naturally pick england as the best country 2have your children because i know it %26amp; its good but house and car prices in the usa are cheaper. but we have the nhs, our economy %26amp; our education system's not 2 bad either. i'd also consider the fact that we don't have as many guns here as there are in parts of america and that crime is generally quite low %26amp; getting lower... but in the end its your choice... i'd likely choose both countries as much as possible if i were you guys...Im american and married a British Citizen. Now what? Advice?
where did you get married in feb? US or UK?
I am not really sure about your first two questions, the law is so complicated, but you can ring or visit the nearest citizens advice bureau where you live and they will should be able to give you information on this.


3. Your children will automatically gain British citizenship by decent. So they will have dual nationality.


4. The best country to have your children is where you both feel the happiest.





Congrates on your marriage and good luck for the future.
You need to speak to your local Immigration Advisory Service ( independent), Citizens Advise Bureau or check out with the home office by phone, or all 3.


1%26gt; Start your own company doing anything you want, take any ';earnings'; as dividends. Alternatively you could employ your husband and take the money out that way.This is easy and fast. To apply for a National Insurance Number would take ages.


2%26gt; Sorry no knowledge.


3%26gt; Yes, they have British grandparents. PS I can see advantages in them just being British Citizens, tax national service etc.


4%26gt; Between Britain and America I can't see any difference as they can be


citizen of either. You could consider a thitd country for various reasons mainly


an escape route in wartime. On recent form we would probably be on the same side.
children must be born in usa, uk sucks, look for a job under the table, yes children will have a duet citizenship.
great... another immigrant!!!
