There is no such thing as dual passports. Was her father born in the USA? How long did he live in the US? If she is indeed a US citizen, she can simply apply for a US passport. Through this, she doesn't need to meet any other requirement to live in the US - she is fully entitled to do more or less whatever she likes there. She is probably already a dual British and US citizen, so when she 'opted' for a British passport it doesn't mean she ceased to be a US citizen - she didn't renounce her citizenship just because she didn't apply for a US passport. Being a dual UK/US citizen is fine.axlandslash44x wrote:Hello
as said above im new and have virtually no knowledge on immigration.
Im a full UK citizen as is my girlfriend - however her father and his side of the family are american - i believe at one point or another she was offered a dual passport but opted for british one. (She was born here in UK)
Her father is now living here in the Uk with no view to go back to US.
My girlfriends Aunt and cousins are still state side.New york and Florida - however contact with them is virtually non existant at the moment
Is there any chance we could both apply and be succesful to get into the states - ive visited four times and love the place as does she.
would it be a case of my partner applying for a dual nationality passport again? would we then need to marry or become engaged?
unfortunatly neither of us are highly educated - have any special trade skills etc.
so we have virtually zero chance of being able to make the move so ive been told
any advise would be great.
Thank you
Your questions HAVE been answered, but you don't seem to understand.axlandslash44x wrote:I really dont understand how you can not get what im asking?
she was born in the UK to a father from USA and mother from UK.
does this make her British or Yank?
She is clearly british citizen but could she be american also?
her father does have an american birth certificate
but her birth was probably never registered in teh states - why would it be?

Dude, reading this I really don't understand how you cannot get what the good people here are telling you, time and time again.axlandslash44x wrote: I really dont understand how you can not get what im asking?
Even so, why has he/she not gone to the US embassy to verify what is needed, or what status she has? If they'd gone to talk to the embassy, they would be given all the information they need about registration.republique wrote:First of all, there are situations where a person born abroad to one American parent must acquire us citizenship, it is not automatic.
Please see

and then they must go through certain conditions to qualify

I presume this is to what the OP is referring.
