How many citizenships can one hold?
- Thread starter Smirk
- Start date
You can be a citizen of as many countries as you want (if all of them allow multiple citizenships), but inside the US, only your US citizenship will be recognized.
Also, if you are not a US citizen, then it will recognize the citizenship of that country which passport you used to enter the US. In your case, your legal citizenship in the USA will be that of the country listed on the GC.

Thanks for that.
When I become an US citizen and I decide to travel to my own country and purchase my ticket back to the US and use my old country's passport to come back into the states.
Would I be viewed as being an US citizen still or other? How would the law operate if something happens to me in that situation?

If you are a US citizen, you must use a US passport to re-enter the US.
