-where are you now residing as a married couple - to obtain uk citizenship, you must be living in the uk with your legal husband for 2 years..proof of beign together..rent, bank accounts, etc ..then you apply for natualization --there is a book to study for the test..english only..onc eyou get natualization then you immediatley apply/pay for the uk/eu passport - if you are outside the uk you must apply for a visa to enter the uk with your husband..you must apply for the visa in the us if that is your resident country/passport held now..you cannot apply from within the uk even if you are there on a student/visitors visa..

Citizenship is NEVER gained simply by marriage. You do not have UK citizenship. In order to acquire citizenship you must follow the legal immigration process.
