I know many people in my country (India) having citizenship in USA. But they are citizens in India too. They have all citizen rights in India too. At the same time some reports out there says USA won't allow one to have multiple citizenship. Is it right?

Yes, the United States does accept dual citizenship, although it does not recognize dual nationality. This means that individuals who hold dual citizenship will be treated exclusively as citizens of the United States and must use their U.S. passport when traveling to and from the United States. Additionally, U.S. citizens who hold dual citizenship will be subject to all U.S. laws governing citizens, including taxation and military service.

The correct answer to this question is you can have dual, triple or any number of citizenship along with a US citizenship. Actually US government are not at all bothered about the dual citizenship matter. They don't even try to recognize the citizenship status of country's citizens. As a US citizen whether you be a citizen of India or China or any other country, that doesn't affect your life or activities in USA by any means. Actually american government is only bothered about the activities of it's individuals within the state. A US citizen can have dual citizenship.

Yes, in USA the government is federal government. In USA every citizen has dual citizenship- citizenship of country and citizenship of state. In india only citizenship of country has been given to the citizens. Because in USA the group of states form united States but in India the states are under the central government forming the Union of States.

Absolutely, the United States and India have a history of relations since 1814, when India opened its first Embassy in Washington, D.C. The then United States Ambassador to India, markers of the United States, A.F. Powell, represented the two countries together. Dual citizens are United States citizens who have Indian citizenship, or who have Indian citizens citizens in the United States.

In the past citizenship was gained by the country you were born in. However, some of this has changed lately. For example, if a couple is a US citizen and now has moved to Canada, they had a child born in Canada, the child would have Candian citizenship and would also gain US citizenship because of their parents applying for this and the residency of the child when they move back to the US. 

Another example is a man has a child from in another country and he is a US citizen he can apply for his child to become a US citizen even though the child was born in the Phillippines and lives in this country with his birth mother.

If an American citizen moves to another country such as France and has lived there for an extended number of years decides to apply for and is accepted for their French citizenship, it is possible and there shouldn't be any issues with this.

However, if a person is a citizen of another country and now wants to become a US citizen, in the oath to become a US citizen they are to give up their rights of citizenship in the other country. If a person fails to do this there could be a loss of their US citizenship.

The US doesn't really like a person to have dual citizenship, but on the other hand, they really don't do much about this at all. I think the major issue, in this case, is if you are not a US citizen and want to become one, you are forced to give up your other citizenship when you become a US citizen. There doesn't seem to be much of an issue if a person was born in the US, lived there a good deal of their life, decided to move to another country and take up citizenship, the US doesn't really do much in these cases.

It is possible to have dual citizenship. I have a cousin who had this kind of citizenship. He has a visa in the USA and the Philippines. However, they need to apply it for quite some time and it needs to follow-up the application from time to time, especially now that we have this coronavirus.

Each country has its own nationality laws based on its own policy. ... U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one nationality or another. A U.S. citizen may naturalize in a foreign state without any risk to his or her U.S. citizenship.

Yes, the US accepts dual citizenship. Under US law, you do not have to choose between your US citizenship and the citizenship of another country. However, you may need to use a US passport to enter and leave the United States, and you may need to obey the laws of both countries.

Yes, the United States generally allows dual citizenship. US citizens can hold citizenship in another country, and foreign citizens can become US citizens while still maintaining their original citizenship. However, it is important to note that the rules and regulations regarding dual citizenship can vary depending on the countries involved and may be subject to change over time.

That's correct, having dual citizenship means being a citizen of two countries simultaneously.while the United States accept dual citizenship, it's treats individuals exclusively as U.S citizenship within it's borders.its important for dual citizenship to understand their rights and responsibilities in both countries and abiding to the laws and regulations of the countries
