Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a non-immigrant visa for temporary stay or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. Applicants should be aware that a visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. Visas are processed and enforced by Homeland Security and the Department of State.

Many legal obstacles often arise for immigrants who seek to live the American dream. Whether you are applying for a visa or facing deportation, an attorney from The Law Office of Mark C.

Dual Citizenship

Dual citizenship allows a person to be a citizen of two countries at the same time. (For example, a child born in a foreign country to U.S. citizen parents may be both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth.)

Dual citizens are required to obey the laws of both countries to which they belong. Either country has the right to enforce its laws, particularly if the person later travels there. For that reason, conflicts can arise and the United States government does not encourage the policy. The government, however, does recognize that dual nationality exits.

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. In order to lose U.S. citizenship, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. citizenship.
