Visa validity upon acquiring new nationality(passport)

[db_23]

Hello,
I am holder of an Indian passport. I have a valid B1/B2 visa issued to me by the Consulate of Mumbai, India. This 10 year B1/B2 visa is valid till May-2015. Currently, I am a legal resident in the United Kingdom and in due course I will be eligible(and intend) to apply for a British citizenship through naturalisation. Upon which I intend to acquire a British passport and surrender my Indian passport.

I would like to know as to what status will be of my B1/B2 visa upon me surrendering my Indian passport(the B1/B2 will be valid at the time of acquiring British passport). Will I be able to transfer my valid B1/B2 visa on my British passport for the remainder term? or will my B1/B2 visa lapse/expire?

Thank you.

British passport holders do not need a visa to enter US as visitors (business or pleasure) for stays under 90 days. UK is part of the US Visa Waiver Program, see http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html

If you read the question, the OP is specifically asking about what happens when he becomes a British citizen and gets a British passport.

The moment you cease to be an Indian citizen, you cannot use that B1/B2 visa. As the holder of a "full" British passport, you will not need a B1/B2 visa to visit the US for business or tourism. However, your stay will be limited to 90 days per visit.

I would like to know as to what status will be of my B1/B2 visa upon me surrendering my Indian passport(the B1/B2 will be valid at the time of acquiring British passport). Will I be able to transfer my valid B1/B2 visa on my British passport for the remainder term? or will my B1/B2 visa lapse/expire?
