Is a UK citizen who marries a US citizen automatically a US citizen?

No, the UK citizen would not become a US citizen. First the UK citizen would have to apply through INS for a work permit and perminent residency. The work permit will be issued within month (probably), but perminent residency could take 18 months or more; during which time the applicant would be expected to remain and work in the US (short overseas visits sometimes permitted). Once perminent residency has been established a 'green card' will be issued and 3-5 years after this the immigrant can apply for US citizenship.

I believe that if the two of you marry in the US, the one of you who came from the UK has to go back to your country and submit a form to reside in the United States. This can take as long as 2 years before approval is given. If on the other hand you have a criminal record forget it completly, as you won't be allowed to come to the States to live.

A US citizen can marry anybody he/she likes. If a US citizen marries a UK citizen, that alone will not entitle him/her to UK citizenship. The US Citizen will stand to lose the US citizenship if he/she applies to get naturalized as a US citizen. UK citizenship can be acquired sometimes by descent.

US and UK allow Dual citizenship. A person can be a US citizen and a citizen of UK if he/she desires to.

No, you do not.Marrying a US citizen never automatically makes you a citizen- however, it does speed up the process if you are trying to naturalize. Normally, a legal resident has to wait 5 years before they can apply for US citizenship; if a legal resident marries a US citizen, this is shortened to 3 years.
