First of all, Polish law does not permit a person to have two citizenships. Not that they are going to do anything to a person who does already have two. However, if you are US citizen, and want to gain Polish citizenship, you'll have to lose your US citizenship in order to do so, and prvide a proof of such an action.\nBesides, yes, gaining Polish citizenship is a damn lenghty process (the FAST track was, when I did last time checked this, 5 years residence under your belt, among others. The regular one, 10 years). \nDe facto, you'll need a Resident card, and it'll be okay then.

First they need to apply for a green card, which is basically permanent residency. Then you should be able to get a SSN.  But that doesn't mean you're a citizen...yet...i don't think.\n\nxo

If his dad is American then he deserves the citizenship...even if his dad is dead! But before that you can get the residency which will allow you to get a drivers license.\nGood luck!

Well this is no small thing dude.Immigration is not such a simple process that you will be given Citizenship in a jiffy.First you have to go to the US on a visitors visa.Find employment there and get a work permit.Then after many years if your record is clean you will be given a Greencard.Some years after the same you will be given citizenship and therefore the right to vote.Hence this is a long process which will take years.

You need to wait until those children are adults.  Once they are adults, they can sponsor your green card application.  After you get your LPR status, you need to reside in the US for a certain length of time, you may then apply for citizenship. \n\nGranting of American citizenship is not automatic - you need to pass some tests as well as fulfill some requirements set forth by CIS.\n\nThe only people that can get their citizenship directly from being related to an American citizen are minor children of American citizens.

The Mexican Consulate. In order to have dual citizenship you must have been born in Mexico, and then become a naturalized citizen. It is not a rare request and they do offer it after paying fees and providing the required Documentation. Is this so you can vote in Mexico?\nThere may be other ways to gain dual citizenship, such as generation clauses, but you would have to investigate that further.

Naturalization is basically the only option you have to legitimately become a US citizen if neither of your parents had US citizenship. After approximately 5 years of living in the United States you can begin the naturalization process, which involves passing a test on history and government and literally writing one simple sentence in English.\n\nI suggest you read more on this at both Wikipedia and USCIS. (links below)\n\nGood luck!

Ireland recognises Dual Citizenship and it looks like the US does too, so if you qualify under the Irish requirements: \nThrough birth or descent \nThrough naturalisation \nThrough marriage to an Irish citizen, it may be possible.\n\nThe first site below has information on "Your right to Irish citizenship" and the second site has "Questions and answers on dual US/other citizenship"

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!

I can't give exact sources but as far as I know, India just recently started allowing dual citizenship.\n\nMy US born Indian girlfriend recently managed to get her Indian citizenship. When she was younger she studied in India as a US citizen and she had to renew some sort of visa every year.\n\nJust contact the closest Indian consulate, they'll tell you what you need to do but I'm 99% certain that you'll be able to obtain Indian citizenship for your kid. As far as the US is concerned there is no problem, you can have the dual citizenship.\n\nThe only time you are required to give up your US citizenship is upon naturalization but if you are born with it or get it after the naturalization (the US goverment doesn't even check then), there's no law to say that you can't have both. Millions of people in the US have dual, triple or more citizenships.

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.

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.
