    Its true. While I am no german, I have a friend from college that got his german citizenship stripped once they found out. Supposedly they cross reference names on their borders and check for matches, eye color, birth date, etc. Now he cant visit Germany for another 4 years but after that he can appeal and get his German citizenship back(will probably have to drop the American though), not sure....

    Hi Carl,
    I have dual citizenship (born in Germany) and did the 'Beibehaltigungsgenehming'. There is a very good yahoo forum for it.

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zweipaesse/

    it shows approved and declined samples.
    My Flyertalk and milepoint handles match my Name here. So just drop me a short PM if you need more information.

    I did get mine but a friend of mine did get declined and still decided to go ahead and has US only now.

    A person born in the US acquires US citizenship(jus solis) and would also be granted German citizenship(jus sanguinis) due to having German parents. German law allows those born abroad to possess and keep dual nationalities. http://www.howtogermany.com/pages/dualcitizen.html

    Here is further info on the subject,but there are also more complexities depending upon place and type of birth. http://germany.usembassy.gov/acs/dual_nationality/

  6. Andy Guest

  7. Andy Guest

    Just curious if US flights against Germany, which side are you in?

  8. JetAway Guest

    As someone who also has two passports I learned long ago that it's best to be very discreet about this.

    That title made my believe that you are going to outer space. Virgin Galactic, maybe?

    SFO-MUC. I'm incorrigible.

  11. WorldWingedExplorer Guest

    afaik Ben was born in Germany. Maybe I was mistaken.
    Even if he is, he has to apply for Beibehaltungsgenehmigung, I know I did. Took 3 months but it did the trick.

    @ WorldWingedExplorer -- That's definitely not true for someone born in the US with German parents.

  13. Jess Guest

    You're allowed to have dual citizenships if you're born to it--ie, if you were born in the US to German citizen parents.

  14. WorldWingedExplorer Guest

    dude you do know its illegal that as a German citizen you can't have two citizenship.
    The moment your embassy realizes you have 2 citizenships they will revoke your German citizenship asap. Had a friend that got his revoked and got a black stamp in his US passport, i.e. he is not allowed in for at least 10 years...
