Can you move back to Germany if you gave up citizenship in the 1950s?

Yes, she can it may take years. Even so, she can still move to Germany without reinstating her citizenship, but just by becoming a resident. She will be a resident of Germany and of the EU. Thus, her chances of reinstating may be better now than ever before...especially since she is an American. Also, she will still reap the same benefits that a normal citizen has, because she will be paying taxes. I was an exchange student there, and I had health care benefits as well as other benefits I didn't even take advantage of. You should call the German consulate near you and ask.

Go to the German embassy in your country. Your nationality wouldn't change, you always be an Egyptian but with German citizenship. Germany is a good place for young and hard-working foreigners. They need working people to maintain their economy going. Try to avoid the former East German part, the wages are lower and the people don't like the strangers, their mind didn't change enough because of their communist heritage. Their working style didn't change to much but they want the same wages as the others. It is important to speak the language.

yes...I'm pretty sure to mainain your citizenship, you must spend at least 1/2 of the year here.  For example, if you own a house in another county, you cannot live there year-round, but just 6 months of the year

Depends what country you are a citizen of. If you're a US natural born you can't have multiple citizenships. But if you came from a different country and got the US citizenship you are able to keep both.

Germany unconditionally surrendered in 1945 before it was divided up

I found an article of the German immigration law:\n\n"Kann-Einbürgerung:\n§ 14 StAG :ausländische Staatsbürger, die im Ausland leben und besondere Bindungen zu Deutschland haben."\n\nI don't know If you still speak German, but it means that a foreigner living in a foreign country CAN be naturalized in Germany if he has a special relationship with Germany.\n\nSo it does not mean that you have the right of naturalization, but you have the possibility of getting granted the be naturalized. In practical it is up to the autorities to decide wheather you "deserve" the German nationality or not.\n\nSo you better start eating 'Schweinshaxe' and drink German beer, then you study a bit German Geography and Politics and refresh the language to pass the ability tests.. ;)\n\nGood luck with German Bureaucracy ;)

You have to go before an American consular official at a consulate or an embassy. There, you may request a renunciation. They will probably try to talk you out of it and will hopefully inform you of all the disadvantages of renunciation. One of the issues you need to consider is whether the citizenship of another country is available to you. If not, then you may be faced with the real, although somewhat unlikely, situation in which you would have no legal residence.\nAs for obtaining citizenship in another country, it does not automatically constitute renunciation of American citizenship. \nFinally, although you clearly feel very strongly about renouncing your citizenship, doing so will create many possible difficulties and has almost no positive aspects, aside from the momentary satisfaction you may feel.

Found some information for you , have included a link to the website also. Good Luck most of the citizenship information is in Deutch.\n\nNaturalizations of people with permanent residence outside Germany are rare. Applicants have to meet a host of requirements; you typically have to give up your present citizenship(s) in order to become a German citizen, fluency in the German language is another precondition - for more information.

You are American?\n\n      You can claim citizenship for your child born in another country.\n\n      Our first child was born in Germany. Contact the nearest American consulate.\n\n      If you are married to the mother, you can apply to the immigration service for a visa, which is the first step toward citizenship.\n\n      I'm simplifying.\n\n      Go to immigrationservice.gov,( or whatever it is), for details

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

You do not lose U.S. citizenship by marrying -- at least not since 1922, and before that, it only happened to women.\n\nBut you can lose citizenship by renouncing it, so I would be careful how and what I signed other than the marriage certificate.

it depends on the country that you want to immigrate in. Usually european countries don't have active immigration programs ,hence, it can be difficult. Similarly to the USA you can gain residence through marriage, relatives and work. After 5-7 years spent there as a resident you can apply for citizenship.\n\nI know the UK has an immigration program for skilled workes ( professional with some experience and university education)\n\nAs an american there is not much advantage for you to immigrate somwhere. You can simply find a job and get a work visa and work there\n\n\nAbout the dual citizenship... USA allows people to have dual citizenship but some countries don't... both countries must allow you to have dual citizenship.\nFor example Germany does not so you can't be a German and US citizen but you could be an UK and US citizen

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 stipulates that Americans wishing to renounce their U.S. citizenship must sign an oath of renunciation in the presence of a diplomatic or consular officer. The oath reads: "I hereby absolutely and entirely renounce my United States nationality, together with all rights and privileges and all duties of allegiance and fidelity." The renunciation must take place in a foreign country, and the State Department reserves the right to reject the citizen's attempt to ditch their citizenship.\n\nThe only time when an American may renounce his citizenship while still inside the United States is during times of war. Then, a formal written statement will suffice, as long as it's approved by a Department of Justice official who deems the renunciation "not contrary to the interests of national defense."\n\nA formal renunciation is generally considered irrevocable, except in special cases involving minors who give up their citizenship.\n\nAn American can also carry out a de facto renunciation by swearing an oath of allegiance to a foreign country, joining a foreign army, or becoming naturalized citizen elsewhere. If an American loses his citizenship in such a manner, however, he can file an appeal with the U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals.\n\nFor exact details and links to US forms, click here: http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_776.html

As far as I understand it, you do NOT loose your U.S. citizenship by aqcuiring a second citizenship (like Israeli) next to it, UNLESS you actively renounce your U.S. citizenship. The U.S. does not recognize another citizenship, but does not explicitly forbid it. They simply don't care (at least as long as there is no conflict of interest arising from your second nationality, e.g. a war between the two countries of your citizenship).\n\nThe State Department has the information you need (see link below). When I became a U.S. citizen I researched it (since I have Dutch nationality as well) and those were the result I came up with.

You need to get it from the German Embassy in your country, or maybe in your city, if you lived close to those big ones. You then have to go through a series of application, and you would be issued a visa when they have cleared everything.
