Danish Dual Citizenship

(not sure where to post this)

My husband and I have been married for 6 years. He has his US green card. I have a read a few things online about Danish dual citizenship for people from other countries, but I can't find a straight answer about Danish citizens. Here is my question. Can he become a US Citizen and not lose his Danish citizenship? We are thinking of moving to Denmark, but we want the option to come back to the USA.

I'm Norwegian, but it temporarily doesn't show for reason of anonymity.

Denmark, as far as I know have the same rules as Norway. Norway does not recognize dual citizenship, and will in fact revoke it if a Norwegian citizen naturalizes in another country. "Naturalization" is the trigger here.

A person who, at birth, qualifies for a foreign citizenship may remain a dual citizen. This applies to i.e. a child born in the US to a Norwegian parent. The child would automatically be a US citizen at birth, would also be eligible for Norwegian citizenship. Also, a child born in Norway to an American parent could acquire both US and Norwegian citizenship. If the person is not eligible at birth, and has to naturalize, Norway will revoke their Norwegian citizenship.

There may be slight differences in Danish law, but overall it is similar. I believe a change of that law is in the works in Denmark.

Also, the USCIS does not write a letter to Denmark saying "To whom it may concern...", So quite how Denmark would know is another question..

Thanks. It's all very ambiguous, I don't think they want people to know about dual citizenship. lol.

I don't know how I missed this, but for right now the answer is no dual citizenship. The parliament was supposed to look at this issue this Spring, but I haven't heard anything.
