My Exciting News

[LordRasta]

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.

Here some classic advice for voting:

@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.

Thanks Chief. I have filled it out already, as you can see it is costing me a very good rep. Money well spent.

Yes it is.

It IS awesome news! Now, I hope (I think) you are in a contested state...so at least you can feel like your vote matters. Have fun in that voting line!

EU passports are great - 27 passports for the price of one.

Any New York lady looking for a wedding out there ?

Congrats LR... I fully understand your excitement about being able to vote. I can't vote for parliament, only municipal elections, being German (in Denmark). I wish I could, though...
