How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Did any of them have to renounce their original nationality?Originally posted by Troll View PostI know of a Kiwi a Canadian & an American who have taken citizenship
Probably not.
If you live in England long enough to get citizenship then getting it is a no-brainer.
I know two kiwis who stayed long enough to get UK citizenship, one of them went through a sham marriage to get it too. They are both permanently back in New Zealand now.Comment

I'll ask her next time I see her. What she did say is that she had two passports. So it may be different. Anyway, she said she wanted to become a British citizen.How did this happen? Who's to blame?
