For all some people hiring know, there could be. But seriously, you've been speaking the language since you were eleven. Most studies put you in the native speaker category.
Best,

| You're right , for most of them seeing a UK passport is sufficient. However, i've heard of some schools which check whether the passport was issued AT BIRTH. |
I HIGHLY doubt that's even legal to check up on.
I don't think the US puts babies on their parent's passports anymore.
About your place of birth, they shouldn't make a big deal of it. If they do, they're not worth working for. Or, you could tell a white lie and say your parents were diplomats and all your info is top secret  |

| Aleksey, I will tell you this. If you are a non-Asian looking Russian you will in most cases have a better chance of getting a job in Asia than Chinese or Koreans that were born in the United States, Canada, UK, Ireland, or Australia. |
