I am only licensed to practice law in Texas andU.S.immigration law. I therefore cannot answer the part of your question that asks what it takes to become a U.K citizen. Please consult an attorney licensed in the to practice law in that jurisdiction.
As to the part about becoming a U.S.citizen, it’s a path to citizenship. The first stage is to become a permanent resident, commonly known as green card holder. A green card allows one to live and work permanently in theU.S. There are a number of ways to become a permanent resident. Some of the ways are through being sponsored by a family member, through employment, through the diversity visa (the green card lottery), through investments, through adoption, through asylum and refuge, through what are called special immigrants, and through having congress pass a private Bill granting a foreign national permanent resident.
Once a person becomes a permanent resident, that person has to maintain the status of a permanent resident for required period and fulfill other requirements such as good moral character before they can apply to becomeU.S.Citizens.
The amount of money it takes depends on many factors. It depends on what route you take in getting your permanent residence. Keep in mind that application fees for all required forms usually adjusts, and usually upwards.
Did you know?
Conduct/admission vs. Conviction. A person must be denied citizenship if he is convicted, and/or if he admits facts that constitute certain crimes. 8 C.F.R. § 316.10 (b) (2) (iv); INA § 101(f) (3)
