    Precisely correct. They are really looking for things that may be potentially untoward like: "The People's Socialist Club" or, "The Communist Friends Society", or, something like, "The Police Unbenevolent Association".

    Tom_Jim got a reaction from Jem P. in Dual Citizen   
    Has anyone been back to the Philippines after U.S. naturalization? Do you bring your "IC" certificate of RP naturalization with you when presenting your Pinoy passport in MNL? I do not want to enter using my US passport because I may be there for 5 months - which is over the visiting threshold of the US passport.
    Any one know or have had experience with this? If so, I'd love to know.
    Thanks.

    The United States does not favor dual nationality as a matter of policy, but does recognize its existence in individual cases. The Supreme Court of the United States has stated that dual nationality is "a status long recognized in the law" and that "a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both. The mere fact that he asserts the rights of one citizenship does not without more mean that he renounces the other," (Kawakita v. U.S., 343 U.S. 717, 1952). (The Embassy does not have Supreme Court cases on file; interested parties may wish to consult with local law school libraries.) These concepts apply also to persons who have more than two nationalities.
    The current nationality laws of the United States do not specifically refer to dual nationality. The automatic acquisition or retention of a foreign nationality does not affect U.S. citizenship; however, under limited circumstances, the acquisition of a foreign nationality upon one's own application or the application of a duly authorized agent may cause loss of U.S. citizenship under Section 349 (a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act [8 U.S.C. 1481 (a)(1)].
    While recognizing the existence of dual nationality and permitting Americans to have other nationalities, the U.S. Government does not endorse dual nationality as a matter of policy because of the problems that it may cause.

    4. During the marriage, were they filing taxes jointly before separating?

    From N-400 Instructions (verbatim):
    Not only is USCIS very interested with what you did prior to becoming an LPR, you're compelled to list everything where one has "worked... full time or part time in the last 5 years."
    It couldn't be clearer.

    Your wishes to abandon her and for her not to remove conditions successfully are as petty as her tirades on you. I would recommend just divorcing her and let her remove conditions on her own.

    Actually, that's a very good suggestion that I hadn't thought of. I would do that as well.
