I think you never lose it. I have relatives who have lived abroad for 25 years, and have not visited the US in 5 years. They don't lose it.
Answer: If you are married to an American citizen than you have to wait 3 years before you can file for citizenship otherwise you have to wait 5 yrs. The citizenship process can take up to 1yr.
Only if the other country does not ask you to renounce your US citizenship (e.g. Norway, Denmark, Spain and Luxembourg require you to renounce your US citizenship if you want to obtain their citizenship).
That depends on how you got your U.K. citizenship. If you were born in the UK before 1983, you got the citizenship by birth in the UK alone. In such a case you can pass your U.K. citizenship to your child (by descent). Your child is automatically a U.K. citizen. Also, if either one of your parents was a U.K. citizen at your birth and you were born after 1983, you still can pass U.K. citizenship to your children (again by descent). Again, your child is automatically a U.K. citizen. However, if you were born outside the U.K. and got your citizenship by descent (one of your parents was a U.K. citizen), it becomes a little more difficult. You still can try to register your child as a U.K. citizen, but beware that you must meet certain requirements (such as having lived continuously in the U.K. for 3 years before the child's birth). Also, this is at the descretion of the Home Office, and your baby has no official "right" to be U.K. citizen.

There's lots of ways to get Irish citizenship. I'll list them all out:If you do not have the citizenship of any other country you get Irish citizenship automatically, if you are born in Ireland.If either of your parents already have Irish citizenship, then you are also Irish unless your parent was born abroad and their birth was not reported to the Irish authorities.If you are born in Ireland to British parents, you would be both Irish and British unless your British parents were born outside of Britain, then you would only be Irish.You can naturalize as an Irish citizen after 5 years of legal residence.If your grandparent was born in Ireland, you are entitled to become an Irish citizen.If your great grandparent was born in Ireland, you can become an Irish citizen assuming your parent's birth was registered with the Irish authorities before your birth.Irish citizenship can be passed from generation to generation abroad as long as one registers their birth before the subsequent generation is born.If you were born in Ireland prior to 2005, you became an Irish citizen even if neither of your parents were citizens.
Yes, you can get married. Only thing is make sure if you are planning on getting US Citizenship in the future, apply for residency BEFORE you leave. It will be much easier than applying from abroad. Also, if you plan on re-entering the US before approval of residency (6 months to a year), make sure you get re-entry Visa BEFORE you leave, otherwise you WILL NOT be allowed to enter country without either the re-entry visa or your green card onCe residency is approved!
=>Honorable Citizenship (are given and can't receive according to your own desire) =>Citizenship which receive from Work (you have to apply for a job from your mother country before get a job in country you wish to immigrate) =>Marital Citizenship (married some one who have got a citizenship then you can become a Citizen too) =>Green Card (apply for a Green Card then you can be a Citizen but it's not really a citizenship just you are allowed to work and live in USA) =>Capitalistic Citizenship (if you are a rich person then you can be a citizen in some countries)
The two types of citizen are the citizen of the United States and the citizen of the state. The US citizenship was recognized from the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.
An American can obtain dual citizenship by meeting the requirements of the country they wish to become a citizen of, such as through birth, marriage, or naturalization. They should research the specific laws and regulations of the country they are interested in and follow the necessary steps to apply for citizenship. It is important to note that some countries do not allow dual citizenship, so individuals should carefully consider the implications before pursuing this option.
By renouncing your citizenship before a consulate officer (you cannot renounce citizenship inside the U.S.). If you are renouncing because you are a dual national and dont really "consider" yourself an American, you should have no problems. If you are only an American citizen and want to renounce as a form of protest, then there are more difficulties because the embassy will usually want to know that you have permanent residency/citizenship in another country (the U.S. doesnt like to make people "stateless"). Note: if the U.S. suspects that you are renouncing citizenship merely because you want to avoid U.S. worldwide taxation, then although you have renounced your citizenship, the IRS will still tax you as an American citizen based on your income, even if earned completely outside the U.S.
Consult an immigration attorney before the marriage! There are certain forms and procedures that have to be followed in order for the citizenship to be granted. The first step is to get a green card. Citizenship requires a number of years of residency, filing the applications and passing a test. Then one can be sworn in as a citizen.
