I am not sure if there is a thread particular to this topic. I did not find any so I hope this is the right place to put this.

I am wondering if there are any Australian citizens here that have also taken the US citizenship (dual). I just wanted to know what the process or steps to take for this.

I am an Australian citizen but would like to become a US citizen without losing my Australian citizenship. I am doing this because now I have an 11 month old daughter and worried that if we ever go overseas and something happens (God forbid), that US embassy overseas would not help as I am not a citizen of the country and help my husband and my daughter go back to the US and not me. I do not want to be separated from my family incase anything like this happens.

ANy help or advice will be much appreciated.

You apply for naturalization when you are able to apply for it, take the tests and when you pass you will go to an Oath. After which you get your certificate and apply for a US passport. Once you get your US passport, always make sure to keep BOTH your passports current and valid. Always renew them ahead of time so they don't expire.

Many Australian citizens are also naturalized US citizens. Australia allows dual citizenship and the US tolerates it; therefore, there's no problem with you getting naturalized. Once you have been a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) of the US for 5 years (3 if married to the spouse who petitioned for you in the first place), you can apply via form N-400.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
