Theos-Talk Archives (August 2008 Message tt00211)

Ok Thanks. Plugged in Blavatsky US citizenship and got this.
In April 1875 Blavatsky married a second time, to Michael C. Betanelly. This was apparently another unconsummated marriage of convenience, with Betanelly insisting on providing for Blavatsky. This arrangement lasted but a few months, and their divorce was finalized 25 May 1878. A few months later Blavatsky was granted U.S. citizenship, at which point she, along with Olcott and two other Theosophists, set out for India to immerse themselves in Buddhism. So successful was their foray that in 1882 the Theosophical Society relocated its headquarters to Adyar, near Madras, India. In addition to deepening their knowledge of Buddhism, and fostering its re-emerging popularity among local peoples, the Theosophists became involved in various schools and assorted promotions of Theosophy, including faith healing and mediumistic displays -- some of which entailed letters of wisdom and advice penned by "the brothers" (Blavatsky's spiritual guides), letters which
 materialized apparently out of thin air.

She got the citizenship after the necessary number of years of stay in the
US.

There was not need to be married to citizen for getting US citizenship.
