I wouldn't have done it otherwise.

Yay!
BTW-My fiance had a HELL of a time at the embassy there- we felt helpless!

But onwards- I read about four different views on it but haven't met anyone that RECENTLY tried to do dual nationalty.

In the end I think we may have to utilize his company's immigration lawyer because we both want to do dual nationality and they changed their minds and decided it is cheaper to get his green card based on our marriage... so now we have THOSE hoops to jump through! I don't think I can do the whole dual nationality thing, though, since we aren't planning on moving back there and I think I have to live in the UK for three years or something like that. Oh well, at least once we are married I can go through the immigration line with him instead of waiting at Heathrow for forty five minutes.

So, we applied for our passports on December 9th and received them on December 21st. Freaky, huh? I didn't pay for expedited either. The kids are all like "Let's go to Canada!" now...lol. They want to USE them.
