Dual Citizenship?

<p>Thanks for all the replies</p>

<p>Well the Dual Citizenship law is very complicated.</p>

<p>Yes I am a dual citizen, and I never had to give up my UK citizenship, and all the make you do is sign something swearing your alligence to the US if any incident did come up, NOT making me renounce my UK citizenship.</p>

<p>“People who go through US naturalization are required to state under oath that they are renouncing their old citizenship”----- this is one of those laws that is written, but not enforced, they have not enforced this law in the better part of two decades after realizing the issues it causes with other countries (ie other countries not recognizing youve denounced it).</p>

<p>Oldfort: yes the UK is one of those countries. so even if they did make me renounce it, the UK would still see me as a citizen. Israel, which use to be part of the British empire, does the same thing.</p>

<p>So as I have never renounced my british citizenship under oath, I am technically a dual citizen,. According to stat there are a few million duals living in the united states. We hold passports for both countires.</p>

<p>The question is, whether I should tell that to the colleges im applying too. I read somewhere that when they put down they had dual citizenship with the us and other countries, they were being sent info. from colleges international divison.</p>

<p>I defiantly don’t want to put into the international catagory, so im thinking ill just not mention it.</p>

<p>Thanks again for all your help!</p>
