Was anyone a dual citizen before taking up US citizenship? (ending up with three citizenships, with all 3 countries allowing multiple citizenships).

 

1. Did you list one or both citizenships on N-400 form (Question 11: Country of Citizenship and Nationality)?

    Did any IOs require that both nationalities be listed?

   - N-400 Instructions state to put in only the (one) citizenship that issued passport last (the most recently issued passport) but IOs may have different take on this.

 

2. How did IO react during the interview to the dual status?

I would list both of them, in the country of citizenship space put one/put the other.

You shouldn't have any problems with having 2 citizenships. Once you are a US citizen, America sees you as only American. 

I would call the other countries embassies and make sure what their stand is about having US citizenship. 

Good luck.

When I was interviewing in Citizenship I never really cared if someone had more than 1 citizenship during the time of naturalizing. Many of us realize that people are dual citizens already and most of the time it is because of one of their parents and it's through blood relations and direct family lineage.  I think they tell you on the application to put only one down because on your naturalization certificate we can only put down one.  When you are filling out the application go ahead and put both of them down and during the interview the Officer will ask you which one you want to have listed on the certificate, you have to just pick one because the computer program in which the certificates are printed on do not allow us to have more than 1 country.  It's not really a big deal so I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Makes sense. Thank you!
