UK Guy-
PLEASE (notice the capital letters) personally go speak to your elected government officials. They may be able to pull some strings.
If you are not acquainted with the inner workings of the American government, state level officials (mayor, city council person, etc.) won't be able to help you.
Find out who your up (s) is/are. Find out who your Senator(s) is/are.
Personally go speak to these people. When they ask why you didn't renew your papers simply smile and meekly say, "inadvertance and excusible neglect.". If you can't go (because of work) have your wife go, if she can.
The clock is ticking
We contacted George Runner ( up in sacremento) but have not had a response. we make 3 -5 calls daily.
Sacremento is 900 miles away from us.
I really appriciate the advice , but we`ve done everything we can to overcome this problem from writing letters to governers and city representatives (even to president bush) but I left it to late
ups has a brand new centre in the uk.tamworth is one of the biggest hubs outside the usa.they are currently looking for people if all else fails and you don't stay in the uk...
i wouldn't see a problem transfering across.best of luck
Once again, state level officials won't be able to help you.
Federal level officials like your state Senator(s) and House member(s) may be able to help you.
I would try faxing the appropriate people. The mail moves too slow.
Good Luck.

Yes, you would be ok to work here had you done the paperwork. After all, you would be an American. If you do not want to be an American, then hit the bricks (or waves, as the case may be). And when it comes to Native Americans, like other groups who claim to be downtrodden by "the Man", if they wanted to work, they could find it. I will apologize to NO ONE for being an American.In 17 years I have never once considered applying for citizenship.
but your saying though, if I filled out some forms and took a test on American history to get my citizenship, I would no longer be taking an Americans job because I would be an american. And although I am the sole provider for my American wife and three American children , an american citizen to lazy to find a job deserves to have my job handed to him because I wasn't born here. Perhaps you should give your job to a native American using your own rationality.
I think jobs should be given to the best applicant , and apparently UPS agrees.

UK-Guy....suggest your wife take a look at this: https://web.archive.org/web/20130611082410/http://www.americanexpats.co.uk/dual.htm. It may help you, too. I'm not an immigration expert. Godspeed. -Rocky
rocky now your helping me I wouldnt have posted that last comment man My apologies dude I`m just pissed off. Its to to late to delete it.
Dual nationality and dual citizenship
Since the British Nationality Act of 1948, there is in general no restriction, in United Kingdom law, on a British national being a citizen of another country as well. So, if a British national acquires another nationality, they will not automatically lose British nationality. Similarly, a person does not need to give up any other nationality when they become British.
Different rules apply in the cases of British protected persons and certain British subjects. A person who is a British subject otherwise than by connection with the Republic of Ireland will lose that status on acquiring any other nationality or citizenship. Similarly, a British protected person will no longer be a British protected person on acquiring any other nationality or citizenship. Although British Overseas citizens are not subject to loss of citizenship, a British Overseas citizen may lose an entitlement to register as a British citizen under s4B of the 1981 Act if he acquires any other citizenship.
Many other countries, however, do not allow dual nationality (see Multiple citizenship). If you have British nationality, and are also a national of a country which does not allow dual nationality, the authorities of that country may either regard you as having lost that nationality or may refuse to recognise your British nationality. If you are a British national, and you acquire the nationality of a country which does not allow dual nationality, you may be required by the other country to renounce (give up) your British nationality in order to retain the other citizenship.
Under international law, the Master Nationality Rule states that a State may not give diplomatic protection to one of its nationals in a country whose citizenship that person also holds. For example, if you have both British and U.S. nationality, a British Consul in the United States cannot give you diplomatic help.
A British person who acquired foreign citizenship by naturalisation before 1949 may have lost British nationality at the time. No specific provisions were made in the 1948 legislation for such former British subjects to acquire or otherwise resume British nationality, and hence such a person would not be a British citizen today. However women who lost British nationality on marriage to a foreign man before 1949 were deemed to have re-acquired British subject status immediately before the coming into force of the 1948 Act.
Im gonna take a valium and go to bed.
Nice rant,I am not an American and will never be one.
Becoming an American Citizen would be way easier for me than all the BS that comes with Alien status. But making life easy and pleasing other people are no reasons to straight out lie about the way I feel and who my aligence is to. I am British, I hold a UK passport and my heart and soul belong to MY COUNTRY not yours.
Nice rant,
now, have your body connect with your heart and soul in your motherland.
Then, you might feel complete as a Brit.
How dare you feed on the teat of America and then complain that it is only a piece of paper that is saying you must leave.
The USA welcomes hard working, family building people that are willing to accept the rules that apply to gaining citizenship.
Go to the country you belong to and thrive.
I am being harse, but, if you are not willing to be an American , then stop your complaining.
