Dual non us citizen

[newbie87 20]

Just wondering if anyone could shed some light into my case...

We've been married for almost 5 years and I just got my green card like 6 months ago (we were living overseas so didn't see the point of apply for the resident card until we move to stateside).

I'm currently holding 2 non U.S. citizenship. My question is how will it work when it time to files for the U.S. Citizenship? We got married in Thailand (I'm the citizen there) using my Thai ID, we than apply for the visa with my EU citizen and a Thai marriage certificate....I did mention in my I-130 that I hold both citizenship and also mention to the consular when we passed the interview and they said it's fine. Will I have any issue when I apply for the U.S. Citizenship and which passport am I supposed to use? Will I face any issue?

Thanks

The simplest thing to do (if you are living in America) is to always use the US passport for everything, EXCEPT at the incoming and outgoing border crossing of the nations issuing the other passports you hold. Using a US passport there could be taken as intent to abandon those other citizenships. If you want to get fancy, there are many websites that describe the other way of using your multiple passports. Google it.

Short version: Always present US passport when exiting or entering the US (it's the law). Use the foreign passport most advantageous to entering your destination country. If you enter on passport X always use passport X to exit that nation.

Having multiple citizenships will not negatively impact your naturalization. Be aware that the oath you take as an American requires you to swear fealty only to America.

Think you misread...they hold Thai and E.U. citizenship. **Edit**** Nope you didn't misread, I just misunderstood you.. My bad.

Op, use whichever you want, just be consistent and just present both if asked. The U.S. doesn't care how many other citizen-ships you hold....it will not affect yours here.

You will not have a problem naturalizing. Be consistent and use the passport that you immigrated to the US on - the EU passport.
