    Giving up US citizenship while at airport
    I was wondering if anyone could help me in my case. I'll sum up the facts to keep it simple.

    I'm American, my wife is British. We've been married for 3 and a half years. We married in the states then a few weeks later flew to England and I was granted 6 months as a tourist(visitor visa).

    After the 6 months I flew to NY and obtained my 2 year spousal visa. At the end of the years we submitted an application for permanent residency which they received 5 days after my visa expired. 8 months later it was refused.

    We tried an appeal which our solicitor screwed up and long story short I was given a removal order and sent back to the states where I am more or less homeless now. No family, no friends, nothing.

    We've submitted an application for another spousal visa but in the case it gets denied, would it be possible for me to fly over and while at the airport demand to see the american consulate and give up my american citizenship?

    I never ever want to come back to this country for any reason and I don't want to get removed again.

    Our home is in England, my wife, our daughter, my job, I have all ties in England and none here in the states.
    Thanks

    Have your wife contact someone in England about your predicament and see if they can do something from that side of the ocean. If you give up your American citizenship how do you expect to miraculously get a British citizenship in exchange? I wish it was that easy.

    Our local MP supports our application but the truth is they could still deny us.

    My point is if I am in the UK and somehow gave up my US citizenship then what would happen? They couldn't put me on a plane back to the states considering I would no longer be a citizen or resident here.

    Posting the same question twice won't get you any more or different answers and is confusing.

    You are allowed to renounce US citizenship in front of a US Diplomat overseas.

    Of course renouscing US ciizenship will not make you a citizen of the other nation, and you will still have to meet their requirements to be a citizen.
    So the next time if they remove you, it may not be to the US.

    But then where do you go? If he is talking the UK they would have no problem putting him on a plane to anywhere... as long as it's not the UK.

    Same as the US - you are illegal, you are deported - no one particularly cares that the "other country" wants you back.
