I’m confused on the common app regarding dual citizenship. My father was born in Ghana and holds dual citizenship with the U.S and Ghana. I have never been to Ghana nor have I applied for a passport for Ghana.

The law states:
“A person is a citizen of Ghana by birth if he/she was born on 7th January 1993 or born after that date in or outside Ghana at the date of his/her birth only if either of his/her parents or one grandparent was or is a citizen of Ghana.”

So does this by default make me a dual citizen?
