You may not take citizenship of another country but if you are automatically entitled to citizenship of another country you may retain it.  The USA had to soften its approach on this in recognition of other countries' claims on their citizens.\n\nHowever, the USA does not encourage dual citizenship.  The main reason is that it can make it very difficult to assist a dual citizen when they are abroad.  In that sense, a lot depends on which country you are a dual citizen in.

There is no such thing as Dual-citizenship in America. Some countries will recognize a dual-citizenship, though. If you want to be an American, you cannot serve in another country's military, hold an elected position or vote in another country's elections. You can renounce your US citizenship at a US Consulate and surrender your passport, if you want to become a full Venezuelan Citizen.

Will you be renouncing your U.S. citizenship, or will be going temporarily (as an ex-patriot)?

You don`t have to do something special to get dual nationality. If both your birth country and your current country allow it, all you need to do is apply for citizenship in your second country. You do not lose your birth country`s citizenship. Once you get your second passport, you are considered to have dual nationality.

No there is no problem applying for citizenship regardless of who you marry.  However the rules for citizenship apply. Such as 5 year wait (3 for those who married citizens), 2 1/2 years physical presence in the US since your GC. Legal presence for all 5 (3) years. No felonies etc.

Canada allow their citizens to hold as many citizenships as they like. As for the US,\nActually, in theory armystud_yo is correct, US may ask you to renounce your Canadian citizenship ,however, this rarely ever happens.\nI don't think you will have any problem as I know a lot of people who have done it.

NO, dual citizenship is not allowed in J & K, or for that matter in any part of India. Unlike USA, India does not have a  dual citizenship system(where one enjoy' s two citizenship, one of his country and the other of his state/province).

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.

Anyone born on US soil is an American Citizen. This is true in an embassy in a foreign land.\n\nIn some cases, the child would be able to have dual citizenship, but this depends of the home nation allows it. Dual citizenship (being a citizen of two nations), or dual nationality, is by far the most common type of multiple citizenship, but nothing in international law prevents anyone from establishing citizenship in more than two countries. Some countries do not recognise its citizens as having nationality of any other country, or recognise so only in certain circumstances (e.g. Japan recognises only those of underage nationals). Others may recognise as many nationalities as a citizen has.\n\n\nAccording to 8 U.S.C. §1408 it is possible to be a U.S. national without being a U.S. citizen. A person whose only connection to the U.S. is through birth in an outlying possession, (which as of 2005 is limited to American Samoa or Swains Island), or through descent from a person so born acquires U.S. nationality but not U.S. citizenship. Nationals who are not citizens cannot vote or hold elected office. However, they may live in the United States without restriction and naturalize as U.S. citizens under the same rules as other resident aliens.\n\nNot all U.S. Nationals are U.S. citizens; however, all U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals. Indeed, U.S. passports normally make no distinction between the two, mentioning only the bearer's nationality, not his citizenship.

I would assume that it is poss-able. However that may put the citizenship of the American at danger. Taking up the colours (Brit spelling, I think :) of a foreign power can be a cause of losing citizenship. Since the Lim.. er British are our friends then I think the poss ability of this happening is small. Come to think of it there are some American Jews who have served in  Israel's SDF and still retain citizenship. I would consult a lawyer just in case.

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!

Applied for citizenship based on what?\n\nWhat did you put in the box asking if you applied?\n\nYour story is funny, but does not sound true to me.

Living in the US and being a US citizen either by birth or naturalized.

If you are from China you can't have dual citizenship.  If you are from Japan, you can.  If you are French but born in Canada and raised in United State, you can obtain triple citizenships, I mean you can own 3 passports--France, Canada and U.S.A.

If you are a citizen I think you need a copy of the papers to get passports and things, but no, citizenship does not 'run out' after a time.  You may need to confirm it as an adult, however, so you should check the immigration web page.  Children born overseas to US parents in the military have to 'confirm' their citizenship upon reaching their majority, as I understand it.  You may have to, too.  This is because naturalization is a contract of loyalty between you and the country, and children cannot enter into binding contracts.

can't unless you where born there. if you mean citizenship that's different.
