Advantages & Disadvantages Of Holding Dual Citizenship
A person with dual citizenship is a citizen of two countries at the same time. Dual citizenship, sometimes called dual nationality, happens automatically in some situations, such as when a child is born to parents in the United States to foreign parents. In this case, the child-unless the parents are foreign diplomats-generally becomes a citizen of the U.S. as well as of the parents’ home nation. Similarly, if a child of U.S. citizens is born overseas, he or she may automatically become a citizen of both the U.S. and the country of birth, depending on that country’s laws.
