Yeah, apparently they may turn him away at the border or if they decide to let him in they can use it against him when he *does* apply because it can be seen as intent to withdrawl his citizenship. It is actually illegal for someone who has US citizenship to travel into America without a US passport. They kind of force it on you, unless you never want to go to the US again. AND THEN the foreign embassys are all paranoid about people lying to get their babies passports (which is funny because I'd just give it a miss if I could and he's legally allowed one :P) so you have to actually make and appointment and go to London to get the passport. The earliest you can get an appointment is for two weeks out although it is usually longer, and the application itself is posted to America to print the passport. All of them are apparently, even when I had my name changed on my passport it took weeks because it went to Colorado. So it really is almost impossible to get the baby's passport in 28 days. Which is lame if they're gonna try to kick me outta the country.

Not that they're gonna.

They took their money Monday so that is a step in the right direction. Then again, it is the first step--they don't even bother looking if they can't get their monies out of you :P
