| Oh geez, yeah I certainly do have experience with British immigration--my first husband was British. I lived with his family from 1980 until nearly 1982. We wound up making weekly trips from Derbyshire to London to camp in line for our turn (which never came most days) at the American Embassy in London to score him a visitor visa. At that time they weren't even granting them. So finally in early January after 2 months of this, we got married. I became a half -British citizen in their eyes, but was only seen as American in the US's. My husband had to denounce for American that he was entirely American now, but Britain always sees him legally as British. The marriage, which had to occur in England, solved basically everything--and there was aLOT. There is so much stupidity and red tape, just busy work that it's ridiculous. It's a game designed to discourage people from migrating in a pattern that the 2 countries don't want them to. Mind you now, this was some 25 years back and things do change. My best advice is to be prepared for alot of wasted time and money. Be sure and get the names of everyone you get information from at the various embassies--just because the stateside Embassy says one thing is no guarentee the British American Embassy will agree in the slightest. My best guess is that once you marry and your kids are granted dual citizenship, problems will magically disappear. Both countries have a hard time breaking up 'proper' families! Hang tough--you must let us know where your husband is from! Best of luck--visas and Embassies really suck! And yeah, I still vote for the revealed ISPs--sound like a fun connect the dots! Cheers!
