		Naturalisation refers to the obtaining of citizenship in a state by a non-national.
		Naturalisation is an optional decision of the state, though all candidates meeting certain clearly specified conditions are naturalised.
		In some states naturalisation is perceived as involving not only a change in legal status, but also a change in nature, a change in political and cultural identity, a social transubstantiation that immigrants can have difficulty conceiving.

		The objective of this project was to look into subjective dimensions which are involved in changing nationality or gaining an additional nationality and how this is related to other aspects of the integration process.

	Mailgate: misc.immigration.misc: Re: UK Naturalisation Questions, Somewhat Odd
		The requirement to intend to live in the UK after naturalisation does not apply if you are the spouse of a British citizen.
		How this will affect the small number of applicants for naturalisation and registration outside the UK is not meade clear in the Bill, nor are any arrangements to exempt applications already in the system when the new ceremonies are introduced.
		I've not heard of any cases where someone has moved outside the UK after an application for naturalisation was submitted, but before it was finalised, so I can't say for certain there's no legal impediment to getting British citizenship this way.
