Anyone here with dual citizenship?

[Mass_Liberal]

Dual citizenship rocks my socks off! I'm an American and British citizen. What are you?

6. Dual Australian/British.

And I could claim Israeli, also, but see no practical reason for it.

7. For all practical purposes, yes.

I live in the U.S.A (I was born here also --though I was raised in Spain). For all practical purposes I might have dual citicenship. I have U.S. citizenship and, possibly, Spanish.

Many years ago I applied (or, more properly, my father made sure this sort of paperwork got done --I tend to not be very aware of these sorts of things) for a student deferment for the Spanish military* (Spain used to have a mostly conscripted armed forces --it no longer does, IIRC) because if I didn't do that I could have effectively become a fugitive from Spanish justice (or something). It turns out they had never heard of me (even though, when I was born, my folks made damn sure that the proper paperwork was registered with the Spanish consulate --in Chicago, I believe-- and also I had had a Spanish passport for many years). We left it at that (no sense in rocking the boat).

Anyway, since if there was a screw-up it was on the part of the Spanish bureaucracy and since I've held a Spanish passport and since everyone else in my immediate family holds Spanish citizenship, I operate under the assumption that, if I have not retained Spanish citizenship, it would be relatively trivial to get it back.

* There's no way would I have considered serving (if forced into such a choice, I would have probably chosen alternative service or renunciation of my Spanish citizenship --because, hey, I have a spare**). The military is not my thing.
** Fast forward a few years and, with Bush in charge, I'm glad I have a backup citizenship should being a U.S. citizen living in the U.S. ever become a liability.

8. I have a girlfriend who has tri-citizenship

British, Canadian, and Polish. If I marry her, she gets US citizenship too.

9. American and Turkish.

Unfortunately for me, I don't speak Turkish. This would be my ticket out of the US in case of a draft, but I NEED to learn the language!!!

11. I suppose I'm still a British citizen as well as Canadian.

So I guess I count.
