LordRasta Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I found out yesterday that I have held U.S. Citizenship since I was 13 and did not know it. When my mother naturalized in 1980, I automatically derived citizenship from her. I now hold dual British/U.S. citizenship and look forward to voting for the first time in my life. Just wanted to share with my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordRasta Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 @JoJo - LOL! Gotta love George. Well it now turns out I am a triple citizen! My parents were born in Belize, formerly British Honduras, a colony of Britain. As such, Belize citizenship was conferred upon me as a British Subject in 1981 when Belize gained independence. In the span of 24 hours I have gone from having one country to three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
