US citizenship question from a British citizen/US permanent resident.?

Question

I am a British citizen but am here in the USA with permanent residency status. If I became a US citizen, would I relinquish my British citizenship? I had heard that the USA does not recognize dual nationality, but Britain does. If that is correct, what are the implications?

Answer 1

The United States requires you to renounce any other citizenship when you become a citizen, but British law specifically does not accept that kind of renunciation, so as long as you don't formally register any renouncement of citizenship, you can easily be a dual citizen.

Answer 2

Go to the immigration web site but my understanding is that you don't give it up unless you yourself do something inconsistent with your American Citizenship (like take a Commission in the British Army.) If you were American first and took an oath to become a British citizen it could hurt you. America disfavors dual citizenship, but doesn't entirely ban it.

You should get the details, though.

Answer 3

Nope, I have dual citizenship. My dad was from Britain, mom from USA, my dad gained US citizenship (there's a big long test, though--I helped him study) and got to keep his old citizenship. All our family has both Brittish and American passports. If either one is being with-held to us, I'm not aware of it. Of course, the rules might've changed since all the terrorist attacks.
