Hello everyone,

I am about to start the CR1 visa process in January, after I get married (this is my first post), and a question just popped into my head. I have dual nationality, Mexican and Swedish. Would if make any difference at all which passport I use for the whole process? I was thinking of going with the Swedish one because that is usually the easier option and I guess it is probably considered a less risky country. Sound good?

P.S. I live in Spain.

Hey there, I am just going to give you my opinion since I do not know whether it makes a difference. I also have a dual nationality - Czech and German. I only used Czech (k1 visa btw) because that is where I was born and thought it would be

easier to use the passport from the country I was born in. Not to complicate things.

A little story: One time I was flying back from seeing my fiance and the lady at the desk went - ok so your passport is german and you live in Germany ? "No, I live in Switzerland" and you were born in Germany ? "No Czech republic". She did get a

little annoyed almost upset with me so I decided to just keep it as simple as possible for next time :)

It won't matter, you will be interviewed in Spain and they will know you have dual nationality.

If you have the same name in Sweden and in Mexico, it really doesn't matter. Otherwise I would choose the passport with the name you want to use in the U.S.

Then again, after you got married, you can also change your name . . .

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
