don't push it.

 

If I'd said I was rich, that would have been pushing it.

 

so you are as rich as you are good looking?

 

If only....

 

It's a huge advantage if your career has any potential to take you outside the US. For example getting citizenship in any EU country opens up the entire continent to you. Most companies will look favorably upon you if you are trying to get transferred to a place you hold citizenship already.

Or maybe he is an athlete looking to get into the Olympics in a less competitive country.

 

As far as dual citizenships go I know that if as an American your child (or perhaps you to American parents) are born out of the US you have 18 years to file the paperwork giving you American citizenship. I think any age after eighteen a parent can not sponsor a person, but a spouse or employment can (not to certain on employment). Naturalization is a long process that requires a lot of forms and a lot of understanding of legal documents. In those documents if something is missed they will not make the effort to let you know you missed something, and your case will be on standby. My wife and I recently went through this when I petitioned for her, she is Canadian. We hired an attorney and spent some cash but in the end saved time and headaches, when she got her resident card in 8 months. There was a Mexican couple that had been living in the US for years and had been going through the process now for about 12 years. When my parents went through the process I remember spending days at immigration offices only to realize that we had to pay more $ and resubmit a form and wait for another appointment cause my parents forgot to list something. They would never tells us what was missed only that the forms could not be submitted and we would have to do it over. I would advise on communicating with an attorney in said country for the best advise on what you would need for citizenship.
