my spouse is a British/US citizen now and your process was similar to ours. We lived in Germany after we got married and waited the two years before coming to the states to live. He had a green card for 3 yrs before he could apply for citizenship. I'm glad we had it done back then. He got a nice letter from President Obama. The process is lengthy, expensive and intrusive. My spouse had to get every address he'd lived at since he was 16 and had to get multiple vaccines at once. That was difficult considering he was over 40 and lived in Britain most of his life and those vaccines were not required there. Had to prove he was a man as well. He got a speeding ticket waiting for all this and was terrified that he would get deported for it. Even doing this legally, it is a mess.
