Yes. Currently, a U.S. citizen can apply for citizenship in Another Country (i.e. Naturalization) without losing U.S. citizenship.
A person with a US citizenship can become a citizen of another country through any means other than naturalization. Applying to get naturalized when the person is already a US citizen will lead to his/her losing the US citizenship and there will be no way to revoke it.

∙ 14y agoI am a dual citizen. One is the USA. The other was obtained by living in a Latin American country for 5 years. The US recognizes the fact that many people have dual citizenships, but they always expect that you will put the US first. The other countries do as well. Its a political game.
Voting and taxes. Just remember wherever you are a citizen there are tax considerations you need to think about ahead of time. "I didn't know", is never an excuse. For example all US citizens are taxed on their income worldwide. Yes its true. You can confirm by going to IRS.GOV and entering a few key words in the search block.
Good luck.

∙ 14y agoNobody, you renounce all allegiences not only to other countries, but other forms of allegience. This is done when you take US citizenship oath.
Of course, by default you would retain other country's passport from another sovereign nation-just that US government officially only recognizes you as a US citizen.

Can US citizen who has a dual citizenship with Japan can come to the US with a legitimate visa?
Japan does not allow dual citizenship; when the person who holds dual citizenship of Japan and another country reaches the age of majority, Japanese officials ask them to surrender one of the nationalities. So, if you have not renounced your US citizenship yet and can apply for (or have) a valid US passport, you do not need a visa to move to the US for work or any other purposes.
can you have dual citizenship in the U.S. and Phillipines?
I think that if your father was (and/or still is) a US citizen, then you are also a US citizen no matter where you were born. It should be rather easy to get an american passport in the US embassy or consulate in the phillipines for you. As for your mother, I believe that she has to apply for a US visa or "green card" based on her marriage to your father who was/is a US citizen, or thru your US citizenship if you are over 21 years old.
