Can I be an dual citizen?

I am currently an Australian citizen, about to marry an American. does Australia and the U.S allow dual citizenship?


    




Acyla
Yes. If you gain your dual citizenship after 4 April 2002 you won't loose your Australian citizenship.

US also allows dual citizenship.
"Dual nationality is the simultaneous possession of two citizenships. The Supreme Court of the United States has stated that dual nationality is "a status long recognized in the law" and that "a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both. The mere fact that he asserts the rights of one citizenship does not without more mean that he renounces the other", Kawakita v. U.S., 343 U.S. 717 (1952). (The Consulate General does not have Supreme Court cases on file; interested parties may wish to consult with local law school libraries.) The concepts discussed on this page also apply to persons who have more than two nationalities."
