Dual Citizenship

 

Can I hold dual citizenship?

 

At the Badia-Tavas Law Group, Ltd., it's one of the most common questions we hear from foreign-born U.S. residents who are thinking about becoming naturalized U.S. citizens.

 

As with most questions regarding immigration law, the answer is: It depends.

 

Many legal permanent residents of the United States would like to enjoy all the benefits of United States citizenship by becoming naturalized citizens, yet they don't want to turn their back on their home country. Dual citizenship (also called dual nationality) is an attractive option for many.

 

There are no restrictions on holding dual citizenship from the U.S. government's point of view. However, your home country may not permit you to retain citizenship if you become a U.S. citizen.

 

The laws for each country are different and, like U.S. immigration law, seem to change constantly.

 

For reliable, up-to-the-minute advice on the requirements and regulations regarding dual citizenship in your specific situation, please contact a Chicago Illinois Dual Citizenship Lawyer at the Badia-Tavas Law Group, Ltd. today.

 

Our principal attorney, M. Mercedes Badia-Tavas has more than 13 years of experience helping people from around the world become legal permanent residents and naturalized citizens of the United States. To schedule an appointment to discuss your case, call us at (312) 422-0838 today.
