Is it true that when you apply for US citizenship, i would have to give up your citizenship of your birth country???
What happen if you want to keep both citizenship? what do you need to do?

Nothing, you can have a citizen of two countries and is not true if you apply for US citizenship you would to give up your citizenship of your birth country. I know because I'm after it. Arnold S. he can have too but he can't be president of US.

Yes, you can have more than one citizenship. I was born in the USA and immigrated to Canada and received Canadian citizenship through naturalization. I have citizenships of both the USA and Canada. I have just applied for my US passport and plan to also get my Canadian passport. Unless you have renounced your citizenship with either country, you have both, as long as the countries you are born in and were naturalized with agree to dual citizenship. Canada and the USA have this agreement.

Arnold S. holds a dual citizenship. America and Austria. And he's the Governor of California.

Depends on the countries. The US and mexico have a dual citizenship accord. Check with your local embassy.

I was raised in the military. I have had SEVERAL friends born in other countries because their parents were stationed there. My friends had dual citizenship...American, because their parents are US citizens and military, and a citizen of the country they were actually born in.

Officially, when you become an American citizen, you renounce all loyalties to other nations. In fact, you can hang on to your foreign passport.
