Question:
As a Brit considering working and relocating to the US, the prospect of
getting an H1B and then applying for a green card sounds very tempting.
However, if I get my green card, does that mean I'm no longer a British
Citizen, no longer allowed to live permanently in the UK, and no longer
allowed to work in the UK without a permit?
Is there any way to stay a British citizen, but get a green card so
working in the US isnt such a pain in the ass?
Answer:
No, it doesn't.
Yes. You won't lose any rights as a British citizen.
I am not British myself, but I doubt that someone would loose his rights
because he/she get a GC.
Basically, in most of the countries of th EU, you never loose your original
nationality.
Maybe getting US citizenship would make things different. Even though, I
guess you would have double nationality and therefore 2 passports.
A "green card" is permanent residence, not citizenship.
Losing one's original citizenship this way would make
one a stateless person, permanent resident of the US.
Not for British people.
Yes, you would.
Yes, that what I am saying.
