U.S Citizen Getting another Citizenship ?

[Sand 5]

Hello.

I don't know if i am in the right forum. So i am sorry if i am not. (waiting for an admin to move it lol)

Well In 2011 i Got my U.S Citizenship and i am already a dual citizen.

and my spouse is an Italian-American.

So because of the long marriage time it makes me eligible to apply for an Italian Citizenship.

My question is.

Will be there any problem for me as an american to apply for Italian citizenship ?

I am asking this to make sure i am going right.

Because i heard you cannot give an oath to any country after you become an american.

Thank you very much

The law says that you can lose your American citizenship if you acquire another nationality with the intent of giving up your American citizenship.

So unless you formally renounce your U.S. citizenship, it is extremely unlikely (although technically poasible) that you would lose it. The government would have to prove that you intended to surrender U.S. citizenship; something they almost never try to do.

People acquire new nationalities all the time withoit difficulty.
