The article says she’s a “legal permanent us resident”. It’s a little weird that she’s been living in the US for 37 years and never got her citizenship. I wonder what that’s about.
It doesn’t fucking matter, and it’s none of our business.
Completely irrelevant.
And let’s be honest, if I wasn’t born here and had been considering becoming a citizen ~30 years ago, that would have changed in the past ~20 years or so, and I would probably have decided against it.
Getting citizenship in a lot of countries is expensive.
My partners mother has lived in the UK since the late 80s, has been married to a british bloke for most of that time and has two kids that were born here by him.
Still only has indefinite leave to remain, no citizenship.
looks like it’ll be over £3000 if she wants to get it just for the application (i imagine it’d also be a good idea to instruct a solicitor). which, for a semi-retired carer that flies back to her home country for a month each year, is a lot of money

That’s about nonya.
As in nonya fracking business. Everyone is allowed to be a permanent resident and leave it at that.
