The concept of dual citizenship recognizes that a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both. The mere fact that he/she searched the right of one citizenship does not mean that he/she renounces the other.

Nonetheless, official U.S. policy has been to discourage the incidence of dual nationality. The Government accepts but does not recognize or approve of dual nationality. The Government accepts it: "only as the result of separate conflicting laws of other countries."

The only restrictions on dual nationals who are U.S. citizens are that nonimmigrant visas cannot be issued to U.S. citizens and they must enter the U.S. with a U.S. passport.

The following is a partial list indicating which countries recognize dual citizenship. The list is based primarily on a survey of every country in the world. The question presented was "If a citizen of (the country in question) acquires U.S. citizenship, does he or she retain or lose (the country in question's) citizenship? In the list below, "Retain" means that the individual DOES NOT lose his or her prior citizenship upon naturalizing in the U.S. "Lose" means that the individual DOES lose his or her prior citizenship. Where possible, the list in annotated to provide additional relevant information.

If a country is not listed, it either did not respond to the survey or there was no information otherwise available.

List of Countries:
ALBANIA (Retain)
ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA (Retain)
ARGENTINA (Retain)
AUSTRALIA (Retain) As of April 2002

Yes, I know a lot of dual Canadian/US citizens. Not the easiest thing to aquire US citizenship these days though, even for a Canadian...

Answer 3

There is no such thing as "dual citizenship" in the US unless the other country has conflicting law.
example:
I was born in Canada when my mother was on vacation there. Both of my parents were born in the US and I lived in the US my entire life, even serving in the US military.
At age 62 when I applied for SS I was informed that I WAS NOT a US citizen, and not eligible for SS until I became one. I had to go through the process at INS just like every one else.
