Will I lose my US citizenship if I marry a European citizen?

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.

Citizenship is acquired through federal law, not state law, so even if your state allows same-sex marriages you probably can´t sponsor an immigrant that way.

the architect: first of all you don't know Tony's actual citizenship - there are LOTS of countries which allow you to have multiple citizenships, so your answer can be flushed down the toilet right away. Why do you answer if you have no idea?\n\nTony: it's unlikely you can get a second citizenship in a fast way. Then again, it depends on what you understand under 'fast'. You're not getting one overnight, no matter which one. In some countries processes can be sped up if you are related to a citizen of that country, you marry a citizen, are a refugee, or living in exile.\nHope that helped.

You will automatically get US citizenship, but you should not give up your Canadian citizenship.

Assuming you're a US citizen, then there's no consequence that I'm aware of. As long as your marriage is (provably) for love and not for the express purpose of getting a green card, I don't think the sponsoring US citizen has violated any rules.\n\nUSCIS will probably interview both of you, ask for lot of documentation and do a thorough job in verify ing that the marriage is genuine. \n\nIf they suspect the marriage is for GC only, they will probably not allow the GC to be given. If they can prove it, then you'll very likely BOTH be in trouble with the law. \n\nBut if it's a genuine marriage, and you live together all the time, have lots of joint finances, file taxes together, maybe have kids etc, then I think that's not a worry at all.\n\nI'm not a lawyer; I'm only a slightly informed person attempting to add some info.

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.................

It is not possible to voluntarily acquire dual citizenship. The United States requires that you give up your citizenship when you voluntarily apply for another citizeship. If you acquire the dual citizenship automatically (because of birth or marriage), you may be required to choose between the two, though the US does not require it.

Although U.S. statutes are silent on dual citizenship, U.S. courts have ruled that there's no law prohibiting it. It is a matter of policy not to encourage dual citizenship even though U.S. recognises it.\n\nWhen you are naturalised as a U.S. citizen, the U.S. considers that you have renounced all other nationality or subjecthood. But U.S. generally does not notify foreign authorities about this, and your home country may not recognise, or even be aware of, such renunciation.

Unlike most other countries, dual citizenship is not legal in the US. In fact, naturalized citizens can have their citizenship revoked if it could be proven that they owe allegiance to another country. Unfortunately if one was born in the US it is very difficult to do the same.\n\nDual allegiances is wrong, as well as unethical.

There is currently new legislation being proposed in Congress to limit the ability for some US citizen felons to petition for foreign-born family members (e.g., spouse, fiancee).   There is no telling if and when that might become law.  Therefore,  if you already have your fiancee visa, then your US citizen's fiancee criminal record will NOT affect your ability to immigrate to the U.S.  However, if you are simply still contemplating obtaining your fiancee visa, then I would suggest you hurry before the law changes.  The only other possible issue is if your US citizen has a criminal record, whether your US citizen fiancee has employment that will guarantee s/he has the ability to support you at 125% of the poverty level.

If the American is marrying a woman from overseas and she wishes to stay in America, you need to apply for citizenship via marriage. You can consult the people at the American embassy, and you will receive forms. The process can take more than 7 years.

If you are a citizen of the UK, when you get married she should become a citizen of the UK, just as you should become a citizen of the US.  If worse comes to worse, she should at least become a legal alien of the UK.  So yes.

Regardless of Holland's requirements, US Code Sec. 349 (a) (1) INA states that if you voluntarily naturalize into another country, you relinquish your US citizenship. Further, Holland seems to require that you relinquish it too: "In principle, you must relinquish your current nationality if you want to become a Dutch national." Page 24 of the second source below has several exceptions, but since the US requires you to relinquish it, it's kind of moot.\n\nEdit: I realized that you didn't say how you became a Dutch national. If it happened in any sort of automatic fashion, such as due to marrying someone, the US law doesn't apply, but the Dutch one probably still would.

Your English isn't very clear.  I know that now if you get married, you get deported...because the U.S.A. would recognize that you were not a legal resident.\n\nThe question that you have is very hypothetical, because it depends on what the congress' new "rule of inmigration" is.

Not so,Mr.Tiggleman\nIf you marry an American you get a green card which allows you to work in the states.\nAfter 3 years you can become a citizen,unlike 5 years for unmarried immigrants.\nWhen you have become a citizen , only then are you eligible for a passport.
