marriage question

[ak3 0]

If my husband becomes american citizen and eliminates his egyptian citizenship, does that effect anything to do with the fact that we were married in egypt? Or its the same?

[doodlebugg 10]

Why would he want to eliminate his Egyptian citizenship? Can't he just keep it and be a dual citizen?

I do not think it changes your marriage certificate. A marriage certificate is a government record of registering a marriage. Change of nationality does not change the record of marriage.

[YuAndDan 153]

The USA recognizes and has marriage cert on file when you applied for green-card, so whether or not he becomes a US citizen will make no difference on marital status.

I don't think it will affect your marriage at all .

but my question is why he want to eliminate his Egyptian citizenship ? i think its not good idea .

cause if he do that and if he move back to Egypt someday everything will be so hard for him . cause they will treat him as American . like he will have to pay fee to stay in Egypt and if you send your children to school they will charge them as American which is so much expensive ....and so on.

if i was in his shoes i would keep it and be a dual citizen .

From everything I have found, Egypt does not recognize dual citizenship.... I do believe they eliminate the Egyptian citizenship if they know you hold another I could be entirely incorrect, but I found this in some research last year.

you can keep the Egyptian citizenship but you have to tell the Egyptian Ministry of the Interior within a year after you get the American citizenship .

[True Love at Last 15]

You can have Dual citizenship...the only thing it effects is his military requirements......any egyptian married to a foreigner cannot serve in the military because of security issues.

I know many with dual citizenships, either from USA or other countries

Also any children you have are also intitled to the Egyptian Citizenship as long as the father is Egyptian. The wife of any Egyptian can also apply for Citizenship based on her marriage. They do not grant Citizenship to men married to Egyptian women.

You can also find all this information on the US Egyptian Embassy website.

not all the time.

there are so many Egyptian men who are married to foreigner women ( American women for example )and they serve in the military .Olivia's husband is serving now in the Egyptian military(she is American woman ).

so now in Egypt it does not matter if you are married to a foreign or not to serve in the military.
