My husband is a citizen of both Canada and Britain (he immigrated from Britain to Canada with his family as a baby). For questions asking about citizenship and/or nationality, we put both Canadian and British because he does have both. The correct answer to those questions is that she is a citizen/national of both Spain and Mexico.

Someone can correct me on this if I'm wrong, but I would think that if she holds Spanish citizenship, she is eligible for the Visa Waiver Program just like any other Spanish citizen, so the fact that she's traveled to the US using her Spanish passport should not be an issue. She may need to submit copies of her Spanish passport with entry stamps to the US to prove that she spent time with her fiance here (for the proof of meeting in person in the past 24 months), and she will probably need to provide her birth certificate when she interviews at the consulate (which will show that she was born in Mexico).

Not a problem. My husband was concerned about me for a similar reason.

When I visited the US on the VWP I used my UK passport, when I applied for the K1 I used my Aussie passport. I sent a copy of my UK passport and the entry stamp in it for the K1 petitions proof of meeting.

Absolutely zero issues. Out of interest, I only wrote "Australian" as my citizenship because I was using my Australian passport to apply. I was told the US doesn't care about the other passport and to not mention it. In fact at the K1 interview I DID ask if they wanted to see it and she told me it was irrelevant to the process because for their purposes I was Australian.

If you have a Porsche, you can drive fast on track days where sports cars are required.

If you have a 4x4, you can drive up the mountains where it says: "Chains or 4x4 only."

If you have both, you can choose which one is better suited for your purposes.

If somebody asks you if you have a sports car, you can truthfully answer "Yes."

If somebody asks you if you have a 4x4, you can also truthfully answer "Yes."

Being able to choose is a good thing.

Got it?
