In this video we’re going to answer the question whether the US will allow me to be a dual citizen. Now, a green card holder remains a citizen of his or her country of origin or citizenship generally in order to become a US citizen. A green card holder will have to go through a process that’s called naturalization. Part of that naturalization process requires a renunciation of allegiances to other countries. However, in some instances your country of origin may still allow you to keep your citizenship.
The US law holds that a U.S. citizen is not precluded from dual nationality that’s obtained in one of three ways. So first, through naturalization in the US when the foreign state does not divest its citizen of their citizenship upon naturalization. Second, through birth in the US to nationals of a country that allows someone to become a citizen simply because their parent was a citizen of that country. Or three, through naturalization of a US citizen in a foreign country that does not require that the US citizen renounce their US citizenship dual nationals should always use their u.s passports to enter and to leave the United States. Now if you have any immigration or citizenship questions, call us for a consultation.
