I am a naturalized citizen of the United States and a Mexican national by birth. I understand that I am eligible for dual citizenship.
Has any one had a similar situation?

# the US does allow dual citizenship #
i checked on Mexican government .........
if you are a naturalized citizen of the United States ,then ? what is it that you want to know ?
is it perhaps if you can retain Mexican citizenship ? here you go in case i did not understand your question ?:

# As of March 20, 1998, Mexican law recognizes dual nationality #
for Mexicans by birth, those born in Mexico or those born abroad to Mexican parents. U. S. Citizens who are also Mexican nationals should be aware that they will be considered Mexican by local authorities and that dual nationality status may hamper U.S. government efforts to provide consular protection. Dual nationals will not, however, be subject to compulsory military service. Travelers possessing both U.S. and Mexican nationalities must carry with them proof of their citizenship in both countries. Under Mexican law, dual nationals entering or departing Mexico must identify themselves as Mexican or face a stiff fine. Under U.S. law, U.S. citizens must enter the U.S. territory with documents proving U.S. citizenship.

YES you can have both citizenships,please keep both passports up to date always ........
hope it helps ?

When you became a naturalized citizen of the United States, you gave your written and verbal oath of allegiance to the US, and "absolutely and entirely, renounced and abjured all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignity of whom or which I heretofore have been a subject or citizen." (See INS Form N-400, paragraph 14.

That means you swore allegiance to the US and gave up your Mexican citizenship.

The US does not endorse the concept of dual-citizenship. The US law or Customs & Immigration Service does not have any applications, certificates or ceremonies for "dual citizenship." (http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=1d289a2fbd7feb9173a94e44b7deea69)


Why do you want to have dual citizenship?
I think you should ask yourself that question, before ask how to become one. Perhaps you became a US citizen for the wrong reasons, and should re-examine what you really want to be.

The U.S. does not recognize dual citizenship. Other countries do. Don't know if Mexico is among them.
