Re: Accepting Foreign Citizenship

You haven't provided enough information to make a determination. Normally you don't lose your citizenship unless you knowingly and willingly renounce it. It might depend on the country &if you have to make a renunciatory oath renouncing all other citizenship when you take up your husband's citizenship. I suggest that you contact the Department of State in Washington D.C., citizenship unit, before you do anything. They should be able to advise you.
