Dual Nationality is a common topic in US Immigration Law, specifically when someone Naturalizes as a US Citizen. This list is a quick reference guide; however, laws can change in other countries and many countries have many “nuances” that this post will not cover.
Thus, a citizen of a foreign country should consult country-specific resources. As a disclaimer, a US Law Firm or US Attorney can’t fully answer the ramifications of dual citizenship between the United States and a Foreign Country. Naturalizing as a US Citizen could have an effect on foreign citizenship and the best people to refer questions to would be the foreign country’s US Embassy in DC.
Below is a quick reference:
