A: I had a German client who wished to naturalize; he too wanted dual citizenship. He was required to file the "Antrag auf Genehmigung Beibehaltung der deutschen Staatsangehorigkeit" BEFORE we filed the N-400. He obtained a certificate and then we obtained his US citizenship. When I asked a USCIS officer about dual citizenship, she stated that "the US is selfish" and does not like dual citizenship. That being said, my client travels to Germany using his German passport and uses his US passport when entering the US.
