Does Germany allow dual citizenship?

And it isn't based on your 3 years of marriage, it is based on your 'resident since' date on your green card. Look at the 'resident since" date and add 3 years to that.

Good luck

I heard already muliple times, that there are ways to get dual citizenship.

What is the US law? Does the US allow dual citizenship?

US does allow it, but it doesn't encourage it

by the way Germany also allows it. I have already dual citizenship: Polish and German. Thus, I also think Germany doesn't encourage it. I want to get my US citizenship, but still keep my German one. If someone has experience and went through a similar process, please let me know.

If you want to keep your german you have to get a Beibehaltungsgenehmigung from Germany. if you become american and you do not have a Beibehaltungsgenehmigung (BBG) you loose your german citizenship.

Certainly a lot of information on this board about "Beibehaltungsgenehmigun", BrotherHaskel is no longer here. All I recall, it has to be done before you apply for US citizenship or you are dead meat.

Believe you have to contact your German consulate first to start that ball rolling.

I don't have first hand experience, but Brother Hesekiel was apparently quite active in yahoo forum or something rather on the subject. Link is below, but I don't know if it's still active.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zweipaesse/

I seem to recall him writing that it usually takes approx. 6 months to get the Beibehaltungsgenehmigung approved, but the topic below had the process approved much quicker if I recall correctly.

Becoming a US citizen does not make you lose your other citizenship, unless your original country does not allow you to hold another citizenship (India and Ukraine come to mind). US does not encourage it, but does not prevent you from holding two or more other citizenships. I've heard of people having US, Canadian and third country citizenships.

I was going to respond to this earlier as I've seen this mentioned multiple times by other Germans on this site. There was no way in hell I was gonna try to spell it though.
