Dual Citizenship means you are a citizen of two countries at the same time.

Not all countries allow this. If you acquire a new citizenship then you often have to give up the old one.

The rules for acquiring citizenship vary greatly and are often complicated. They usually require you to be a legal resident of that country for a number of years, to speak the language, not to have a criminal record, and other restrictions. If you want to acquire a second citizenship, you will have to research how to become a citizen of that specific country.

No. Your divorce had nothing to do with your status and there is no reporting amongst illegal aliens divorcing. However, I ma assuming it is going to be an amicable divorce. If not, you never know what charges the other person my claim against you! It's happened to me with someone who is just an alien resident and now I am going to press charges against her to get her deported! Sad but true! * Maybe. Under USCIS laws an undocumented foreign national does not necessarily mean they unlawfully present within the U.S. Their status depends upon which country they are from and the date they entered the U.S.

If you are married to Italian then getting Italian citizenship is very easy. You can apply for Italian citizenship after being resident of Italy for six months. The law was supposed to change in mind 2008 but I am not sure if it has really changed. If you live outside Italy then you can apply after three years of being married. Once you submit your application and all relevant documents you need to sit back and wait two years to hear from them.

Please do not erase my correct answer. That message board is a wonderful place to go to for help in the process of an illegal immigrant becoming an legal resident because I have helped my husband do so.

If both your countries of nationality require a visa to enter the destination country, then you should obtain a visa and have it stamped in one of your passports prior to your departure.

If the country of destination is one of your countries of citizenship, then you should just use their passport.

African-Americans as a race do not have dual citizenship. Only those who meet all of the requirements of the country that the person is applying for citizenship for may or may not obtain citizenship. Citizenship is not guaranteed when applying for it.

23 years ago Germany was one of the founding countries of the European Union, which began in 1992.

A foreigner who marries a Mexican doesn't automatically get Mexican nationality, but they can apply for Mexican nationality after only 2 years instead of waiting longer. For example, a foreigner (not married to a Mexican) who applies for Mexican nationality on the basis of Mexican residence has to wait 5 years.

Go to the nearest US mission abroad and ask them to assist you.
If you want to do that in the US, contact the State Department.

No passport - EVERYONE must have a passport to travel into and out of a country. Although it doesn't always happen, EVERYONE trying to enter another country without a valid passport SHOULD be refused entry to the country they're trying to enter.

No visa - Even if you have a passport, some countries require you to have an entry visa.

Undeclared convictions - Many countries will refuse someone who has criminal convictions (dependent on the seriousness of the offence)

No means of supporting yourself - If you don't have access to sufficient funds during your stay, you may be forced to beg (which is illegal in most countries)

No-where to stay - Again, having no accommodation will force you to sleep rough, which many countries don't allow

Wanted criminal - If you're a wanted criminal in the country you just left, you should be returned there to face whatever charges are levelled against you.

In ALL the above scenarios, you don't have an automatic right to enter the country of destination, and (quite rightly) should be returned to your country of origin !

Yes absolutely!

Your child will have dual citizenship:

• American citizenship by birth in the United States ["lex soli" ]

• British citizenship by descent being born to a British citizen ["lex sanguinis"]

The modes to attain citizenship in Ethiopia are by law or by blood. Losing citizenship in Ethiopia requires the modes of renunciation, one foreign parent, discharge by law, and breaking the law.

United States law does not recognize dual citizenship. When you applied for your Naturalization, You took an oath of faith and loyalty to the United States and made an agreement to uphold and abide by all its laws. Your oath is in essence your assertion that above all other countries you have chosen The United States as your home.

So basically if you're saying you now want dual citizenship, you are revoking that oath and in doing so you are revoking or abandoning your own U.S. citizenship. If you have applied for citizenship in Germany, the moment that application is approved, for all legal intents and purposes state side, that is (even retroactively) considered the day you voluntarily relinquished your U.S. citizenship. You could actually have your U.S. passports cancelled and be denied re-entrance into the U.S. if they find out.

Bear in mind that the U.S. does not prosecute or harass someone that has dual citizenship in any way, The American government simply gives no recognition to it or at the governments prerogative, can revoke your U.S. citizenship based on your own application for same elsewhere.

Even if they don't find out till later, your revocation can be considered retroactive. If you assert that you are a German citizen in any written form with the United States government or elsewhere and can produce evidence of citizenship elsewhere, then you are considered an Ex Patriot, which means you are someone who has voluntarily abandoned your U.S. citizenship, revoked your oath of loyalty and are no longer legally entitled to any of the benefits that go along with U.S. citizenship, including re-entrance into the country.

I know many people in the U.S. do have dual citizenship, most are oblivious to the potential ramifications and as long as they never have to produce evidence in a state side political, jurisdictional action or legal proceeding they likely won't be bothered, unless of course, the person shows up on some undesirable list somewhere or if they try to use the duality to assert some right or privilege.

They may even have asked someone if it's illegal and the correct answer is no, It's not illegal here to have dual citizenship. It's simply not recognized.

Answer

If the person was also a German citizen, they should have applied for a permission to retain German citizenship prior to applying for US citizenship otherwise they are to give up their German citizenship upon becoming an American (or any other foreign national than Germany).

If the person was only born in Germany to foreign parents, they should consult their original country of citizenship to find out whether or not they have lost their previous citizenship upon becoming a citizen of another country.

Yes, you can.

He or she could, but his or her partner must make the appropriate arrangements so that she or he acquires the US citizenship. Namely, contacting the American embassy in Mexico and begin such legal process.

Where were you born? That is your nationality.

Citizenship is a process that takes time to be approved by the government of the country you wish to become a citizen of. In general, citizenship status in the US is difficult to receive and takes several years of processing. If your daughter is a citizen of both countries, you can include that information on your citizenship application forms, but you will still need to go through the proper channels to get approved. Having a daughter as a US and Mexican citizen will not make you a citizen of both and will likely have little impact on your application for citizenship. Becoming a Mexican citizen would be significantly easier if you were a US citizen, as the paperwork and legality is not nearly as complex and strict. Check with the governments of both countries to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
