Best Answer

Marriage and naturalization

Although the United States does not recognize Dual Citizenship status officially, it does not prohibit it either. However if the question were to come up in a legal or Immigration type proceeding your United States citizenship may be disallowed if you also have citizenship in Another Country, in which case you would be treated as a resident alien in the USA.

A U.S. citizen may acquire foreign citizenship by marriage, or a person naturalized as a U.S. citizen may not lose the citizenship of the country of birth. U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose a citizenship or another. Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.S. citizenship. However, a person who acquires a foreign citizenship by applying for it may lose U.S. citizenship.
