My fiance is British and we are getting married in August. He currently has a permanant residency status in the US and we are just awaiting his green card. What do I have to do to become a British citizen? Can someone point me in the right direction. ???
I think you have to live in the UK for a certain amount of time before you can get/apply for British citizenship. Similar to getting American citizenship. Yeah I just did a little research. Look here

"The wife or husband of a British citizen may apply for naturalisation after living in the United Kingdom legally for three years. The applicant's stay must not be subject to any time limit on the date of application; the applicant must be 18 or over and not of unsound mind, but does not have to meet the requirements to have sufficient knowledge of the language and to intend to live in the United Kingdom once naturalised. He or she must be of good character, however.
To meet these residence requirements, you must not be absent from the United Kingdom for more than 450 days over the 5-year period, or for more than 270 days over the 3-year period. In each case, you must not be absent for more than 90 days in the last year of the period."
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, Jennie
My wife and I are going through a similar thing also. We are in Grand Junction, Colorado? Where are you from?.
