ptm897 Question about citizneship

[BigDaddy28 228]

First I want to thank you for reading my post and having the time to answer it as well. 

 

As you can see I'm from Tunisia, I became a Naturalized US citizen 2 years ago. Here is my situation: My great grand father is a French citizen. French citizenship is supposed to go down the line because of jus sanguin. However because my great grand father did not register my grand mom the citizenship never went down the line. So I didn't mention anything about it in the applications. Will that create a problem? (maybe I could be found for lying about citizenship).

What if we fixed the registration for my grand mother and citizenship was granted in the future, will that create any problem legally with my situation?

Say it was fixed, I know I wouldn't have to take any oath of allegiance or anything but will getting French citizenship result in taking away my US citizenship?

 

 

Thanks again for reading my post and answering my questions.

You are very welcome, and you have nothing to worry about.  If you did not know or think you had claim to another citizenship at the time of your naturalization nothing at all is going to affect you negatively now and even if you knew at the time it still would not have negatively affected your naturalizing in the U.S.

 

Please don't worry about that, many times people find out at some point in their life that they may have a claim to another citizenship through jus sanguinis and getting another citizenship through that is O.K. and it does not affect your citizenship in the U.S.  

 

Now since your Great Grandfather never recognized or registered your grandmother that might be an issue for the French government in terms to passing down citizenship to you through jus sangunis and you will have to check up with the French government on all of their rules and regulations and if you have the proper documents to claim it,   If you are able to obtain French citizenship through that manner it is not going to jeopardize your U.S. citizenship at all.  That French citizenship is something that can be conferred to you through blood, family lineage and there is nothing at all wrong with that.  

 

I have the ability to do the same thing through a Great Grandparent on my father's side and I'm strongly considering it at this point.

I want to Thank you again for putting my mind at ease. I will be honest with you, I'm not considering it as of now to pursue French citizenship but maybe in the future that could change and thats why I had all of those questions lol.

 I'm very happy with my US citizenship and I don't want to jeopardize it ever.  

 

I would consider getting it (if it was possible) when I get close to retirement so I can maybe travel in europe and don't have to worry about how long I can stay legally there lol.

You are welcome and you definitely would not jeopardize your U.S. citizenship.  Another citizenship given to you though Jus Sanguinis is never a problem
