Hi there! I am a US citizen that is in the throes of love with a German tourist. We are now engaged and I am wondering what forms and other information he/we might need to stay and work with me in the States as he has now overstayed his tourist visa in trying to figure our plans together. When we get married, will he lose his German nationality?

 

I have done a little reading on the i-130 and I-485, what other info might I need to make sure all bases are covered? Thanks in advance!

He doesn't lose his citizenship because you get married, similarly as he doesn't become a US Citizen or a permanent resident from your marriage. It sounds like you are very early on in the process. When did he come? When are you getting married? How long have you known each other? Is he returning to Germany?

I'd also encourage you to familiarize yourself with the guides. http://www.visajourney.com/content/guides/

My good friend is a German citizen, and holding a  green card. He told me that if he applies for U.S. citizenship he will lose his German citizenship since Germany does not recognize dual citizenship's as we do..
