loosing U.S citizenship

[SZ77]

2 questions:

1) If a natural born U.S citizen is married to an E.U citizen, will she lose her u.s citizenship if she aquired the e.u citizenship?

2) if I'm ordered to be removed from the U.S, how soon can I apply to come back to the U.S based on marriage to a U.S citizen?

Generally, no.

if I'm ordered to be removed from the U.S, how soon can I apply to come back to the U.S based on marriage to a U.S citizen?

Probably 10 years, but it depends on your specific circumstance.

If you're really a US citizen,you should read this in your US passport : IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 13 - loss of US citizenship :1- Being naturalized in a foreign state. 2- Taking an oath or making a declaration to a foreign state 3- Serving in the armed forces of a foreign state 4-Accepting employment with a foreign government 5- Formally renouncing US citizenship before a U.S. consular officer overseas.

No I just say I'm a US citizen for the fun of it. It's a black and whith situation really. Read the language, it say's you MAY lose your citizenship, not you will lose it. I was born in Canada, I aquired US citienship through naturalization, and my father is from England automatically making me a British citizen (able to aquire a EU passport). So technically I am a triple citizen, and I don't need to take any oath to get my British passport.

The US does allow dual citizenship, but they don't like it, they just accept it. However, if you are naturalized, in Canada for instance, their oath does NOT include any language in it to renounce your former citizenship like the US does. It was my understanding that Canada did this to avoid people from losing their previous citizenships.

Does the US enforce the their oath in regards to renouncing you former citizenship, nope. If thats the case, I am no longer a Canadian citizen!

Again, I am not arguing your point of view, but do they really enforce any of this......................

hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.[1]

Here is a good case. Not exactly in regards to naturalization, but read it. Proof that just because they say you might lose your citizenship, doesn't actually mean you will!

It's important to note that the law has an important caveat to this - you must engage in these actions with the explicit intent of abandoning US citizenship.
