I don't have anything like a full answer to those questions.
I hope someone else does.

I remember reading that Marx applied for citizenship,
signing himself "Charles Marx", but that some police
official or other wrote a document saying that he was
"not a loyal subject to the Queen" and that this at
least for the time being prevented the application
>from being granted. Whether Marx later succeeded I
don't know, nor whether there were any serious expulsion
threats. But having read some parts of Marx' correspondence
over the decades, I can say that I didn't find any reference 
to such threats there.
