    I am in a Civil Partnership in London, and am a dual US/UK citizen. I have also just turned 62, and am applying for my US Social Security pension. One question on the form is: Are you married? We are intending to convert the partnership into a marriage at the earliest possible time but are legally not married at the moment. Thus this question is complicated. I am a kind of Schroedinger’s Cat: both Not Married and Married at the same time. I have tried to explain that to the US Government, but am unable to discover whether I have done so successfully.
