Acquiring US citizenship through marriage to a US citizen has to do with what is allowable by US immigration laws, not Dutch laws.

Presuming the both of you live abroad right now....you would have to  make the US your permanent residence at some point to do this.

I don't see a way without you making the US your permanent residence at some point, no.

I am a permanent resident

Just to clarify---a permanent resident of the US?  Are you in the US or outside right now?

 

Sorry for the questions---just your post isn't very clear since you are talking about "Dutch laws"...it makes it seem like you are residing outside of the US right now, and asking if just being married to a USC/Dutch citizen would make you eligible from abroad...so want to clarify since it's a bit confusing the way your original post is  worded?

 

If you are living in the US as a LPR, then yes of course you can apply for naturalization once eligible to do so.

 

Or is your question asking about dual citizenship?

Yes it is allowed by Dutch law. There's 3 situations where you're allowed dual citizenship, marrying a foreigner and taking their nationality is one of them.

As long as you live in the US and qualify to apply for US citizenship, go for it!

I think she ment if Dutch law allows you to take dual citizenship. The Netherlands is very against it, but they do make some exceptions. Marrying a foreigner and taking their nationality is one of those exceptions.

Yes, you are allowed by Dutch law to keep your Dutch Nationality while obtaining an other nationality. However, if you would ever get divorced, you can no longer hold both and you will have to choose. Make sure to renew your Dutch passport to prevent losing your Dutch nationality by accident.

I have not found that exception anywhere yet. Can you point me to that part? I know you need to be married a person of the same nationality you want to obtain if you want to keep your Dutch nationality. It's a fun little exercise I'm not looking forward to at least DC is not that far for me.
