    USA citizen wants UK citizenship
    I am a born US citizen.
    My father is a US citizen. My mother is a UK Citizen (legal resident in USA).
    UK Law says that because I was born to a UK mother in 1970 I have the right to UK citizenship.
    I would like to claim UK citizenship without giving up my US citizenship?

    QUESTIONS:
    - Can I legally do this and how?
    - Who should I speak to?
    - If they law is vague on this issue, can I just do it with little fear of having issues provided I don't start using a UK passport to get in and out of the US?
    - Are there any other issues I should be thinking about regarding this?

    My grandmother lives in the UK and my mother may soon live there again and I would like to have UK citizenship in order to be able to advocate for them and take care of them should I need to with the full protection of UK law.

    Have your mom report birth of British citizen (you) at the nearest British Embassy.
