Does a person who has acquired US citizenship through 5 years of residence in the States become just a US citizen, or is he considered to have dual nationality/citizenship?

-Most people are giving me the wrong answers... I understand that there's a lot more to acquiring citizenship than being a legal resident for 5 years. I just specified the 5 years of residency to add detail to my question because you could acquire citizenship through other things, (ie, if you were born in the US.)

You can;t jusy become a citizen no matterho long you have lived in this country. You have to apply and get accepted then take tests an be interviewed before you can becoe a citizen. My husband served in the US miitary for 5 years before he got his citizenship.

If you emigrate legally to the U.S. , no matter how long you live here, you do not automatically become a citizen.You must apply & take the test. You must also renounce the country you came from. You will not have dual citizenship.

uk facilitates, yet relies upon on India. If it does not, you won't be in a position to. yet once you get into worry in a thrid u . s . a ., the united kingdom government is way less vulnerable to be in contact with twin nationals. And fairly appropriate too. they have divided loyalties and don;t deserved to be helped by ability of the two. they are in a position to't ward off you from professing twin or greater nationalities yet they are in a position to provide up you from having or conserving a passport you mustn't have.
