Definitely up for it here - congrats on getting it all sorted mate

 

Oh, for Pete's sake ,Pheonix. It was a joke. You're deserting your Queen and joining the rebels. That's a radical change for an Englishman. So, I threw another outrageous proposition out there just because it was just as outrageous as saying you're joining the rebels.

It's called hyperbole, and the definition of it is "extravagent exaggeration".

 

I knoooowwww freddy
I really thought you would of got the hang of my personality by now,

Trust me you will always know when I am not taking something as tongue in cheek

 

Oooooh say, can you see, by the dawn's early light...

Congrats, man!

 

Gee...you're not saying that you can be a little *sparky* when the mood takes you, are you?

 

Google Maps says the trip from Greenville SC to Birmingham Al is about 4 1/2 hours.....and if I drive I can get there in 3 hours. When's the first beer?

 

Well if you need a place to store your technical gear on the east coast of the US..........

 

Congrats Ryan,



Looks like you had quite a bit of adventure there!

 

I will if i can get the time off, but i doubt it at this short notice mate

 

Congrats on getting through mate.

3 weekends left eh? Be almost worth flying over if you were in London, I can get cheap flights to Luton from here.

 

Congrats on getting it all sorted! Welcome to this side of the Atlantic....except your a bit further north than me on this tiny dot in the Caribbean!!

On a Caribbean-esque side note, I was just wondering; as you are now a US passport holder, are you able to retain your UK passport (ie: dual nationality)? Also will having a US passport now invalidate you from travelling to Cuba (should you wish to vacation there at some point)?

I used to have dual nationailty (am half Spanish) but had to give up my Spanish passport and now just hold a UK one because I couldn't have dual nationality.

Congrats again!!

 

Hi mate, not a passport holder as I am just a permanent resident not a citizen
citizen will take another 3 - 4 years and THEN i can hold both passports provided I never show the wrong one at the wrong time

by becoming a US citizen your actually giving up citizenship of any other country
however the British don't recognize it and to revoke your British citizenship you actually have to go to an embassy or consulate and actually agree to give up your citizenship

so in essence, your a dual citizen via some random loopholes

I'm not a Lawyer so don't take it as gospel, just letting you know what I have to do when the time comes

 

Flight Booked

My flight leaves the UK on July 4th at 15:50 BST
which means I become a legal permanent resident on July 4th 2008, how poetic!

 

LOL. Yeah...the day we declared ourselves free from your arses...uh...did that come out right?

Nevermind. Welcome to the neighborhood.

 

Very much so

to someone sentimental, it could bring a tear to their eye

 

I've got a car that'll be going past that way to the GTG..... 2 offers for lifts now - no excuse!

 

Dude, Phoenix, you wait until the exchange rate is upside down to come here?

I hope you're living in a nice area -- I, for one, can vouch for the weather in Southern California!
