More than 1,900 American applications were lodged from January to March, establishing a new quarterly record. Immigration attorneys in the U.K. noted a noticeable uptick in inquiries from U.S. nationals contemplating relocation to Britain following the election of President Trump in November. Muhunthan Paramesvaran, a senior immigration lawyer at Wilsons Solicitors, confirmed an increase in interest, attributing it to reactions to the election outcomes and emerging political rhetoric.
“There’s definitely been an uptick in inquiries from U.S. nationals,” Paramesvaran noted. Individuals currently residing in the U.K. also seem to be considering the possibility of dual citizenship, as the political climate back home compels them to seek alternatives. As the landscape for American citizens evolves, the trend of relocations and citizenship applications could redefine immigration patterns between the U.S. and the U.K. moving forward.
