Dual Citizenship

through the naturalization process required by government

Yes

If you are Jewish and have moved or want to move to Israel through Aliyah, you can retain your US citizenship. If you are no Jewish and want to obtain Israeli citizenship by naturalization, you have to give up your American citizenship.

* People who make Aliyah to Israel, are automatically granted full Israeli citizenship after residing there for one year. During that one year, they hold on to your American passport and give you an Israeli travel document (red coloured as oppose to the regular, blue coloured, national passport.)

NO you are NOT an automatic PR just because you got married.

Assuming you want to be in Australia with your spouse - you will need to apply for this visa.

And this is how you know if you are eligible.

This means your spouse MUST have a job or income of some sort as he will be supporting you. You cannot work and you will NOT be a permanent resident. You will only be a visitor and you will STAY a visitor for 2 years and you CANNOT WORK OR STUDY during this time. Your life will be on hold until you are granted or refused permanent residency.

Your marriage has to be at least 2 years old before you can be granted permanent residency. So you will be visiting Australia temporarily for those 2 years while you get to know your spouse and your marriage either works or falls apart.

Being a visitor means no working, no studying, maybe medicare or not (I dont know for sure). Make sure you have a HOBBY you can do to fill in the time when you are not cleaning the apartment or doing his laundry or cooking his dinner. He must be working or have an income because HIS money will be paying for the both of you for two years.

USA has the same rule. Marriages less than 2 years old only get a temporary green card and they dont become eligible for a permanent green card until after their 2 year anniversary.

(this is in the discussion as well)

I am a US citizen who has married an Australian citizen. I do not think that the first answer was accurate. Once you marry your partner, you can apply for permanent residency right away (this cost use about $2000) - subclass 801, spouse visa. You will then go onto a Temporary Residency Visa, which entitles you to medicare and to be able to work in Australia. You will NOT have to put your life on hold, you CAN work and be entitled to medicare. You can also study if you want (international rates).


During this time you must have "Assurance of Support" from Australian citizens. In my case, my husband and I were studying and didn't have jobs, so my mother in law co-signed with my husband to support me during the two years that I won't have access to benefits (pensions, dole). Your husband does NOT have to have a job or income for you to pass this requirement.


After two years on a temporary residency visa, given that your permanent residency application was approved, you will be a permanent resident! Then you can apply for cheaper study and centrelink benefits.


Once you have been a resident in Australia for at least 4 years (1 year must have been as a permanent resident), you can apply for citizenship.


This is how I have experienced the process. I think there is a lot of inaccurate information in the first answer. You certainly do not have to put your life on hold waiting for a permanent residency visa, you definitely can work and study. Your husband also does not have to have a job or income, you just need family members or someone who is Australian to promise to pay the government for any financial support you may need while on a temporary visa.

America does not recognize dual citizenship; you'll need to decide if you want your baby to be an American citizen or an Aussie. Listen, if you need to talk to someone about this I know some friends in the same boat. Post a message here and I'll try and help, ok?

Filing the Form N-400 with USCIS, US citizenship and immigration services, you can apply for US citizenship.

Form N-400 filing fee is $595.Additionally $85 biometric fee and totals to $680, where applicable. No fee is required for military applicants filing under Section 328 and 329 of the INA. Applicants 75 years of age or older are not charged a biometric fee.

you take a test and do follow castros rules and do not sneak out any Cubans

Most of the countries of the American Continent (North, Central, and South) give citizenship status to children who are born in their territory. Some examples are: the US, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela, Paraguay, Colombia, Peru, Chile, .....

*Children of the diplomats are excluded.

No. He was born with dual citizenship British/American, his British citizenship was transferred to Kenyan when Kenya became independent and he lost his Kenyan citizenship at age 23 because he didn't renounce his American citizenship (Kenya doesn't allow dual citizenship). So currently and since age 23 he holds citizenship in only one country--The United States of America.

NO IELTS is not compulsory for UK Student Visa. These are other categories for UK Study Visa in which you can apply for Visa. Julia & Rana Solicitors in Pakistan provide you best guidelines about these categories and apply on your behalf. So that you can easily get your student Visa.

Yes, Iranians can hold dual nationality. However, the government of Iran would recognize ONLY the Iranian nationality of its dissidents.

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).

No court will entartain you , as you are a minor and under age of marriage.

It depends on the amount of applications they receive and, if you are unlucky, if they deeply search your background and schedule interviews for you.
You can always check the status of your application though.

The short answer appears to be no, as the Czech republic asks for a renunciation of your previous citizenship when you are applying for Czech citizenship. There are some exceptions to this:

- the country of which you are currently a citizen will not let you renounce your citizenship

- the country of which you are a citizen does not issue certificates affirming/asserting renunciation (so you cannot provide proof of the renunciation)

- renouncing your current citizenship would put you in physical danger

As for the other way around, if you are a Czech citizen and you are voluntarily naturalized, you forfeit your citizenship. If, however, you acquire citizenship through being born in a country, or through marriage, it seems as though you could actually be a dual citizen.

There are supposedly numerous people who have not notified the Czech authorities of their new status as citizens in other countries and have retained their Czech passport, so they are (at least for a time) de factor if not de jure dual citizens.

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.

I think its very important,im currently in a love-less marriage and 3 kids...and some days im miserable...i used to think it didnt matter but it DOES,trust me...be careful,be safe good luck

my daughter was born in america and she is a us citizen, she would like to reside in greece . she said in order for to reside in greece she needs an apostlli? what do i need to do

Yes, you can. Contact the nearest US embassy or consulate general to see what exactly should you do to make it official.

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.

No, US citizen child can sponsor for the parents to come to US. Once they get their green card either through consular process staying outside US or Form I-130 petition while in US, they are eligible to apply for US citizenship by naturalization process by filing Form N-400 after continuous stay in US as green card holders for minimum 5 years.
