Dual Citizenship Application Form

Yes.  Many Americans hold dual (or more) citizenship.  Far more likely to occur with naturalized citizens that come from somewhere else and retain their prior citizenship for a variety of reasons.  Natural born Americans may acquire citizenship in other nations.  The most common example I can give are those of Jewish descent.  Jews have the right to claim Israeli citizenhship even if born in the USA.  My wife can, for example.That being said, the catch with this is the US State Department does not recognize other citizenship when you are within the USA or its territories.  If you're on US soil, you're a US citizen.  You cannot claim consular protections under other citizenship.  Your extra citizenship only matters outside the USA.  But if you travel elsewhere as a citizen of somewhere else, you cannot request US consular protection either!  That State Department recognition cuts both ways.There are some other rules, such as you must leave and reenter on a US passport and you have to be careful about your other citizenship.  You can lose US citizenship if you acquire citizenship in a place hostile to US interests or if you actively work against the United States (i.e. serving in a foreign army that is fighting the USA).

It depends what is your present status. If you are neither a UK citizen nor a US citizen already, then I can’t offer much advice, other than that it’d be a complex and long journey, if even possible.If you are already a UK citizen by birth, to become a US citizen you’d first have to acquire a visa in order to stay for a set amount of time in the USA - a work visa, sponsored by an employer, or a student visa, or a marriage/fiance visa if you are or are intended to be married to a US citizen. It’s not an easy route, nor a quick one. I did it, and in my case it entailed my now husband, a US citizen, staying with me in England for around a year. He had to acquire a visa to do so, and an extension of it after a given period, while I applied for a marriage visa. There’s money involved at every stage - it’s not cheap!Once we were married, in England, I applied for a visa to come to the USA with my husband. This took a while, and involved a trip to London for medical examination and an appointment at the US Embassy.Once settled in the USA , after selling my UK property, and sending what I could of my belongings by sea, my visa covered me for a limited amount of time, after which I had to apply for an extension. This extension would, I think, have covered a further 10 years stay. In the meantime, 4 years after arriving here, I applied for US citizenship - this was not obligatory, I chose to do so. It took a while due to backlogs in the system, but eventually I took the citizenship test and went through all the required red tape, attended a ceremony - about which I’ve written already at Quora.I held both passports for 10 years, but haven’t renewed my UK passport as I have no intention of travelling out of the country - but I remain a dual citizen.If you originally obtained a visa via employment or student routes, then I am not certain how the journey would proceed. Provided that the employment continued, you’d probably have to renew the visa, until such time as you could apply for citizenship. If the student route - I think that visa would not cover you for long enough unless you obtained employment here and changed your visa type. There’s a British Ex-pats forum where they freely offer advice on all routes and all visa types - just Google search “British Ex-Pats Forum”, go to the USA section.If you are already a US citizen and wish to become a UK citizen, the above route would work in the other direction, but I do believe it’s slightly less daunting that way, from the experience we had when my husband stayed in the UK. I am not certain that the US government would consider you still a US citizen, though, were you to become a UK citizen.

How would Prince Harry and Meghan's children be eligible to run for president of the U.S.?Meghan has not went to the American Embassy in London and formally renounced her America citizenship, nor has she yet been granted English/UK citizenship.She still has to pay American Income Taxes, and will for about four more years.She is a birthright citizen of the United States of America.Therefore: Any person born abroad in wedlock to a U.S. citizen and an alien acquires U.S. citizenship at birth if the U.S. citizen parent has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions prior to the person’s birth for the period required by the statute in effect when the person was born (INA 301(g), formerly INA 301(a)(7).) For birth on or after November 14, 1986, the U.S. citizen parent must have been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for five years prior to the person’s birth, at least two of which were after the age of fourteen. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, the U.S. citizen parent must have been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for 10 years prior to the person’s birth, at least five of which were after the age of 14 for the person to acquire U.S. citizenship at birth. The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship. (United States of America State Department Regulation online website.)As such her child is an American citizen. To make it formal she will have to go to the American Embassy to formally record the child's birth as well as fill out some forms.I don't see it happening, but only she and Prince Harry know at this point. The only challenge to the citizenship may come because of Meghan’s time spent in Canada where she resided immediately before moving to London, but didn't apply for citizenship. I don’t see that challenge being made either.There is little benefit to the child having dual citizenship in the UK and USA, it isn't like there is much chance of them ever being denied a visa to visit the United States of America.The drawback comes in the area of income taxes. The United States of America is very close to being the most greedy (If it isn't the most greedy) nation there is when it comes to income taxes. If they fill out the documents to grant the baby United States of America Citizenship then they are forced to pay taxes in any money they make or property they might be give through the age of 18, when they could renounce their American citizenship.Also as a male he would have to register for the draft. Although he can probably get a waiver when it comes to actual service as he will be in Sandhurst Academy at 18 if he follows his father's path. Sandhurst is the British West Point, it lacks all the fluffy electives and sticks strictly to being a military officer.Original Question: How would Prince Harry and Meghan's children be eligible to run for president of the U.S.?

No. If you are a US citizen and have a valid US passport, you must enter the US using your US passport.You should not use your Italian passport to enter the US, as you are also a US citizen.This is because the US government allows but doesn't recognize your dual citizenship. For the US government, you are only a US citizen in the United States.A US citizen must use a US passport to enter and depart the US, irrespective of holding other passports/citizenships.

The first thing to remember is that only some countries allow dual citizenship.  Many other countries only allow it in certain circumstances.  In many countries though, if you get naturalised (take citizenship) in that country, you have to give up your old citizenship.  In some you have to take an oath that you "forsake all previous allegiances" or something like that but that's usually not held to actually mean anything.Wikipedia tells me that France didn't allow dual citizenship until 2009 (French nationality law).  I don't know if this means people who had to give up French citizenship to take up a new citizenship can now get it back or not.    America does allow dual citizenship but doesn't encourage it.Some people manage to get away with having two citizenships illegally.  Usually this happens when they take up a new citizenship but simply don't tell their old country.  I don't know of anybody being charged for this, and at least until your passport expires you'd be unlikely to be charged so you wouldn't even be committing any sort of "lying to the government" type crimes if they exist.(disclaimer:  I am so not a lawyer.  I'm the least lawerly person around.  I'm no expert on any of this stuff).Anyway, if you do have dual citizenship, how it works is you are a citizen of both countries.  It doesn't "halve" your citizenship in either country.   You have the rights and responsibilities of both countries.  Often if you grow up and live in a foreign country you have less responsibilities in your country (the country of your citizenship), such as for example the requirement to do military service (France no longer has compulsory military service and I don't know what the law was for non-resident citizens back when it did, but I'm talking in general).For an American citizen (including a dual national) this would entail the requirement to do a tax return every year, even if you don't live in the country.  This is why many Americans chose to give up their American citizenship.But in terms of travelling, the example you gave is exactly how it works.  If someone is a dual French-US citizen, they are both a complete citizen of the USA and a complete citizen of France.The USA has a law that if you are a dual citizen (with one citizenship being of the USA) you must enter and exist the USA with your American passport.  This is a good idea anyway.  So if your friend wants to visit (or live in) the USA, he should enter on his American passport (and, if he leaves, obviously, exit on his American passport).I don't think France has such a rule.  If it did, it would be unworkable, since there are no border checks between France and any of its land border crossings, and they couldn't prevent a French national from going to Germany with an American passport and then driving, walking or taking the train, to France.But it's still a good idea to enter on his French passport.  If he decides to stay in the Schengen zone longer than the three months that an American can normally stay, or he decides to work, he doesn't have any difficulty staying, and doesn't have people asking questions when he exits.In terms of going to China, or any other country that's not the USA nor in Schengen or the EU, he can use whichever passport he wants.  My guess would be that he went to China with his Chinese passport because he applied for the Chinese Visa at the Chinese embassy in the USA?This is perfectly legitimate.  Some embassies will get confused though if you're for example in the USA and you try to ask for a visa on your (e.g.) French passport, but there's no American entry stamp on your French passport.  It would look like he had entered the USA illegally.  So if he was in the USA and wanted to get a Chinese visa, it would be much simpler to request the visa on his American passport.
