The best way to do this is the legal way, get in contact with the embassy (consulate) of the country you want to work in and they can provide you with all the necesary information you need.

Yes, you should be able to claim both citizenships.\nThe USCIS website should provide the info - good luck! :)

You can renounce your United States citizenship, but you must either do so in another country or be prepared to apply for a nonimmigrant visa. The site below has the process for renoucning it.

That depends on a number of things. Most importantly what your current nationality is.\nIf you are a European Passport holder it will be easier for you.\n\nThe following site is packed with free information, but they do encourage you to buy their guide.\nhttp://www.movetoireland.com/\n\nOther Sources\n\nOasis (Online Access to Services, Information and Support)\nhttp://www.oasis.gov.ie/moving_country/moving_to_ireland/\nhttp://www.oasis.gov.ie/\n\nGovernment of Ireland Website.\nhttp://www.gov.ie/

No problem - you will still get it.  Even if you were to take out Canadian citizenship later, you will still get your social security because you would still be a US citizen.  You don't give up your American citizenship if you take out Canadian citizenship.

That depends on the nation you are leaving and the nation you are trying to adopt as your home.  \n\nIf you wish to denounce your citizenship to the United States, you need only go to a U.S. Consulate on foreign soil (you may not do so on United States soil since you would no longer have the right to be in the United States once the deed was done), fill out the form to renounce your citizenship, and present it to the ambassador at the consulate.  He or she will then ask you if you are sure you wish to renounce your citizenship and will usually talk to you to see if they can help you to resolve the situation which makes you feel as if you need to renounce your citizenship.\n\nIf they cannot-- and no, there's no torture or brainwashing involved-- they revoke your status as a United States citizen and have you escorted from United States territory.\n\nThat's just how simple it is for a United States citizen to stop being one.  All you have to do is ask (though, admittedly, you have to pop for the ride to whatever country you plan on doing it from since we don't allow citizens to do it from here).  \n\nThe problem, though, is that it's much easier to cease being a United States citizen than it is to become a citizen of another nation, so the one small bit of advice the United States actually offers its citizens on the subject is to encourage them to not revoke their United States citizenship until after they have become a citizen in another nation, so they are protected by the rights and privileges of being a United States citizen until such time as they be protected by the rights and privileges bestowed on citizens of their new homeland (after all, without citizenship in any country, you have no real human rights except what someone cares to give you, and no recourse to request protection from any country from abuses you might suffer).\n\nOther countries, will, of course, have different methods for renouncing citizenship to them, and it may be more difficult to do so than it is here.\n\nMy best advice would be to try and work your problem out within your home country, since chances are if you have a legitimate problem which makes you feel unwelcome, it is one affecting a good number of citizens who may need your help to resolve the matter with your country (and whom you would have abandoned when you chose to leave).  Otherwise, do your homework and learn exactly what happens not only in the country you are leaving, but have everything in place for the country you plan on emigrating to, and not only have citizenship in that country secured in advance, but also make sure you are intimately familiar with their customs and laws.  You may discover in your search that the grass only SEEMS greener on the other side of the border.\n\nIf you are looking for resources for people who have left the United States, we refer to the revocation of citizenship as "expatriation" and former United States Citizens as "expatriates"... so you would probably be able to find contact and support networks by searching on the web for those terms and the terms "America", "U.S.", or "United States".

the USA is the one of the two sides that REALLY care about you holding dual citizenship.....trust me on the whole the EU does not BUT.......remember Poland will then be able to call you for military service etc etc, so it might be worth questioning deeply why you want to hold this passport............\n\nOver the age of 18 you must pick one side or the other....my son had to pick at that age [in fact slightly before] and had to more or less renounce his other citizenship else certain jobs would NOT be open to him.................

Are you planning on giving up your US Citizenship?  If you want to get german citizenship you really should think seriously about this.  As is the case with most countries, naturalization is possible, but costly.  Germany's population (taken anglo) is in decline and the (gov't and citizenry) are quite miffed about the 'new immigrants.'  Be mindful of their attitude here and they are VERY ethnocentric in their requirements (language requirement, etc)\n\nPlease contact the Consolate in your area   http://www.germany.info/relaunch/info/consular_services/citizenship.html  \n\nbest.\n\nhttp://www.germany.info/relaunch/info/missions/consulates.html

You'll have to clarify your question. Are you asking for a web site that shows HOW to obtain United States citizenship?

Not after you are 18. The USA forces you to choose. Dual citizenship is not allowed for adults in the US.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you should be able to.

As far as I am aware - the only way that you can actually lose your US citizenship is if - in claiming the other citizenship - it was "performed voluntarily and with the intention of relinquishing U.S. citizenship."\n\nThis particular document seems to back that up when it points out: \n\n"a person who:\n\n(1) is naturalized in a foreign country; (2) takes a routine oath of allegiance or\n\n(3) accepts non-policy level employment with a foreign government\n\nand in so doing wishes to retain U.S. citizenship need not submit prior to the commission of a potentially expatriating act a statement or evidence of his or her intent to retain U.S. citizenship since such an intent will be presumed."\n\nYou can read the whole thing here: http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_778.html :-)

I have a few friends who are naturalized US citizens.  It's a long process that takes several years.  The website below is the homepage of the US government's Citizenship and Immigration Service.  The pdf link is an official handbook with common questions about immigration.  \n\nIf you're not in the US already, you could also visit the American embassy in your country and tell them that you're interested in becoming an American citizen.  The third link below is a list of US embassies and consulates around the world.

You can´t acquire citizenship via great-grandparents, only parents and grandparents in some countries.  Your best bet would be to contact your nearest Polish Consulate and ask them.  I´m pretty sure your grandfather would have to apply for citizenship by proving that his father was Polish, then your dad would have to apply by proving your grandfather´s citizenship, and then you would follow.\n\nDon´t listen to people who say "why would you want to do that?" I think it´s a great idea, you´ll become an EU citizen and be eligible to work in most of Europe!
