RFE for proof of entry into Nigeria.

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

There are no such rules. Can you refer to any government issued document which says this?

But of course, it doesn't help OP in his case since his Nigerian passport happened to be an electronic...

When you get your USC, you pledge your allegiange to the US of America, you as a citizenof the US don't even know what it means to be a citizen. Why oh why must it be explained what it means to be a USC.

When you get your USC, you pledge your allegiange to the US of America, you as a citizenof the US don't even know what it means to be a citizen. Why oh why must it be explained what it means to be a USC.

What part of the following even comes close to saying what a dual citizen does at the border to other countries.

United States law permits dual nationality.[35] Consequently, having and using a foreign passport are permissible. However, when a U.S. citizen uses a passport to leave or enter the United States, they're required to use a U.S. passport.[36] This requirement extends to a U.S. citizen who is a dual national.

Speading fake/non facts confuses those that are already here to get help.

Since I was born here I will brief you on what it means. There is no requirement for USC's to use their US passports to enter and exit other countries. Part of the beauty of living here is that our country does not care if you carry or use a non-US passport outside of the US.

That is called "choice". You may not however, as a USC, use a foreign passport to enter or exit the US, that is the law.

Part of the consequence of that is if you get in trouble in another country and you have used that country's passport to enter then the US government cannot help you.

Please rattle (our) flag at something else.

@ the OP surely the airline has a record of you having been on the flight in and out?

Wow. You are so ignorantly uninformed it's quite astounding.

When you are dual-national, you have pledged your allegiance to TWO countries, and this is entirely permissible by US law.

Apparently we have to explain to YOU what it means to be a DUAL citizen. Dual means Two. Two is one more than One. One being one more than the total number of things you appear to know about dual citizenship.

I think the citizenship test must be way too easy.

Explain the situation and send them you miles from the airline if they show information on the dates you traveled. My airline unfortunately doesn't break it up. If that is the case call the airline and ask them for proof of your travel I believe you will need your reservation number do that ASAP since they take about 2 weeks to give you everything. Also try using any credit card slips from Nigeria. Do you have a bank account there and used it at the time if so send that.

And regarding you using a certain passport if you have double nationality you do not need to only travel around with your US passport. I have double nationality being born in USA to Chilean parents. And am required to travel in and out of Chile with my Chilean passport if I go with my US one I have a limited amount of weeks I can stay and I get charged an entrance fee every time. I asked immigration officers in both countries and was told to travel with the Chilean passport. If I am traveling anywhere besides Chile then I decide which is the best passport to use. In Europe I used US but in Peru & Argentina I used Chilean since my entrance fee again was waived while if I used my US one it would be about $150 per country. The only rule about holding two passports is when you are entering your country whether it be USA or Chile you have to enter with that passport. When it comes to another country you can decided to use whatever passport you please. That is the beauty of having double nationality. And regarding certain peoples last posts if you have no idea what it means to have double nationality or if you don't know the rules about having two passports then keep your comments to yourself. People who might not be 100% certain of the laws will get confused. And since you do not know what your talking about then don't comment leave that to the people who have spent hours reading information about double nationality and have spoken to immigration officers, embassy and consulate officers and so on. OP continue using your passports as you have been doing since that is what you are legally supposed to do! Legally you MUST enter a country with their passport if you have one.

And if you are still nervous you will not be be sending enough information call USCIS and speak to a manager. I know someone who did that explained her situation sent everything back and the manager had it approved withinh a week. As long as they know your situation you will be fine. Good luck!

No, not really. The United States does not prohibit dual nationality, but it does not recognize your citizenship in another country, nor does it permit a US citizen to have allegiance to any other country. Read the Naturalization Oath of Allegiance:

"I hereby declare, on oath, that

I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen

; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

Actually you're wrong. That is when someone is applying for US citizenship which means you renounce your citizenship from the other country. But some people are double citizens for the following reasons taken directly from the Department of State website:

The concept of dual nationality means that a person is a citizen of two countries at the same time. Each country has its own citizenship laws based on its own policy.Persons may have dual nationality by automatic operation of different laws rather than by choice. For example, a child born in a foreign country to U.S. citizen parents may be both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth.

A U.S. citizen may acquire foreign citizenship by marriage, or a person naturalized as a U.S. citizen may not lose the citizenship of the country of birth.U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship or another. Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.S. citizenship. However, a person who acquires a foreign citizenship by applying for it may lose U.S. citizenship. In order to lose U.S. citizenship, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. citizenship.

However, dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries. Either country has the right to enforce its laws, particularly if the person later travels there.Most U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States. Dual nationals may also be required by the foreign country to use its passport to enter and leave that country. Use of the foreign passport does not endanger U.S. citizenship.
