Any question answered...

Do you use Revolut? I just got Monzo but this looks more advanced.

I used revolut for a month in the US last September and use it when i travel with work; It's pretty good.

Haven't tried Monzo but it looks like it has all the same features as Revolut except it's missing current accounts which Revolut have just launched.

Perfect, thanks.

fixed, wide, china carbon wheels. talk to me.

I'm about to order some rims from them:

Then get them built here?

Monzo is meant to be launching proper current accounts this year - the delay (they say) was due to having to wait to get their full banking license, which they now have.

This is the first I've heard of Revolut (shit name). I wonder how they're offering a 'current account' even though they say themselves "Revolut technically isn’t a bank"?

I had to file down the pin slightly for it to clear the crank arm but it's performed fine since then.

Or cn*carbon / carbonspeedcycle for cheaper but a bit heavier.

Yep. Bike Whisperer build most of my wheels these days.

They're FCA authorised so can offer current accounts etc.

And Monzo is hardly the best name for anything ever :)

Yeah but with Revolut they just chopped off the end of the word "Revolution".

They didn't even remove any of the vowels or nuffin

(I know they did, just not in the conventional hipster start-up way)

My company makes Revolut's cards.

There's a bit of useless info for you

Great. now I don't trust them.

Just buy a fucking aerospoke.

You buy an Aerospoke

How much?

Here's a weird one. Anyone got any direct experience of this situation?

My wife was born in the USA to British parents. Her dad just happened to be working there for a year. She was registered at the British Consulate as a UK citizen and does not have, nor has she ever had, US citizenship or a passport. I know she was entitled to it, but she doesn't have it.

Any time we've been to the US, she's been asked to show her US passport, and when she says she doesn't have one they're OK. Now apparently, due to a change in legislation, people born in the US have to show their US passport or their 'loss of nationality letter' - neither of which she has.

She contacted the US Embassy, who were not very helpful.

Does anyone know anyone in the same boat?

It sounds like she has dual citizenship but the US bit is in limbo.

It sounds like she either needs to formally renounce her US citizenship or turn it in to full citizenship and claim a US passport.

This is because of changes where dual citizenship holding north American people need to show both passports when they enter the country IIRC.

What Howard said. I thought people born in the US got US citizenship automatically? I think I remember reading that in a story about Boris Johnson, who was born in New York City. It may be what happened to her even without her parents realising (or it being forgotten over time).

I can help with that. Legislation in the USA dictates that if you are entitled to a US passport (which she is being born on US soil) then you MUST travel on a US passport when entering the USA.

You will need to either

1. Get a US passport - (requires Birth Certificate and Social Security Number first)
   
2. Give up US citizenship
   
   

The embassy can help with either option. You will need to pay money either way.

Happy to help interpret USA embassy bureaucracy for you. Drop me a PM and I'll do what I can.

I buy 2!
