Can I lose my US citizenship?
Asked a year ago
Yes, it is possible to lose your US citizenship, but the circumstances are rare. There are three ways this can occur. First, if you willingly renounce your citizenship before a US diplomat or consular officer. Second, if you commit an expatriating act with the intent to give up your US citizenship, such as serving in a foreign military against the US or working for a foreign government that requires renunciation of US citizenship. Lastly, if you obtain naturalization in another country voluntarily, you may lose your US citizenship. However, if you acquire foreign citizenship through marriage, employment, or other non-expatriating acts, your US citizenship will typically not be affected. It is important to consult with an immigration attorney regarding your specific situation.
