Technically you cannot have dual citizenship, to become a citizen of the US or UK you must give up any rights to your former country as part of your citizenship, however I am led to believe there are ways and means, of which I have not found yet.

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

Yes. When a parent naturalizes, the child under 18 automatically gets the parent's citizenship. To be on the safe side, he should consult an immigration lawyer. He needs to get a copy of his parent's naturalization document and his own birth certificate (to prove that he is still under age when the parent naturalized).

No.  In the U.S., the right to vote is a fundamental right, and generally cannot be conditioned on any status other than citizenship or felony conviction.

Right now our laws do not allow a naturalized citizen to become president.  However you can become any other elected official.  Some senators and governors are immigrants and have emmense power and influence within the government.\n\nGood luck on your citizenship process and don't give up.  It took my friend 10 years before he finally became a citizen.  But it is worth it,  you have better job opportunities and more compreshensive rights as a citizen.

A person obtains citizenshipin the US by several methods.\n\n1.  Be born within the territory of the US to parents other than foreign diplomas stationed here.\n\n2.  Be the child of a US Citizen who mets certain residency requirements.\n\n3.  Naturalization is the process where US Citizenship is granted to a alien via laws (which change ocassionally).

Some countries grant citizenship by birth. For example, if you are born in the USA, you are an American citizen, no matter if your parents are not.\n\nSome countries grant citizenship by blood. For example, if one of your parents is Spanish, you are considered Spanish. There is a well-known case of an American who went to Spain to visit relatives and was conscripted in the army because he was Spanish by parental blood.\n\nStateless citizens are something different. For instance, in Kuwait, they did a census around 1926 and another around 1951. If your family is not on the census, you were not Kuwaiti. However, they did not take a census of the Bedoun, who are nomadic Kuwaitis (Arabs - as Kuwaitis might argue they are "not" Kuwaiti) who live in the desert around Kuwait City proper. These Bedoun, though their ancestors have lived there for many years (or hundreds) are stateless. They do not have Kuwaiti citizenship and are not entitled to the benefits that Kuwaiti citizens get.\n\nI hope this helps put it in perspective.

You can lose your citizenship. There are many circumstances that must occur in order to do so.
