The
Concern. When an individual acts in such a way as to indicate
a preference for a foreign country over the United States, then he or
she may be prone to provide information or make decisions that are harmful
to the interests of the United States.
Conditions
that could raise a security concern and may be disqualifying include:
a. The
exercise of dual citizenship;
b. Possession
and/or use of a foreign passport;
c. Military
service or a willingness to bear arms for a foreign country;
d. Accepting
educational, medical, or other benefits, such as retirement and social
welfare, from a foreign country;
f. Residence
in a foreign country to meet citizenship requirements;
g. Using
foreign citizenship to protect financial or business interests in
another country;
h. Seeking
or holding political office in the foreign country;
h. Voting
in foreign elections; and
i. Performing
or attempting to perform duties, or otherwise acting, so as to serve
the interests of another government in preference to the interests
of the United States.
Conditions
that could mitigate security concerns include:
a. Dual
citizenship is based solely on parents' citizenship or birth in a
foreign country;
b. Indicators
of possible foreign preference (e.g., foreign military service) occurred
before obtaining United States citizenship;
c. Activity
is sanctioned by the United States;
d. Individual
has expressed a willingness to renounce dual citizenship.
