I was reading thru this web site http://www.richw.org (which is very informative btw) and he suggests that you prepare a written declaration informing the State Department that you intend to keep your US citzenship if you apply for a passport from another country. Is this a good recommendation ? Do you know of anyone who has? I'm assuming this would be sent to the same department a US passport application would be sent to ?

If you are in a dual citizenship situation, or are contemplating such a move, you should consider discussing your plans with an attorney who is knowledgeable in this particular aspect of immigration law, and/or with consular officials of the countries involved. At the very least, I would encourage you to verify anything you may read here with authoritative sources before acting on it.
Yes I did read his disclaimer, and thank-you for reminding me of it. I've been following threads on this forumn and several others dealing with dual citizenship. I was wanting to see what others have done in this situation.
My potenial dual citzenship is with the UK by my birth. From what I've read here and the UK official site, the British government allow dual citzenship.
Could anyone recommend a good lawyer in the San Franciso area ? Thank-you in advance.
P.S. I don't think you would need AV rated attorney for this type of case, but at least you can search his website and find the answers to your question.

This question always comes from New U.S. Citizens. It all depend on your country of birth. In case you travel from US on U.S. Passport, and Enter your country on your birth countries Passport, and in the event you need any help from the US Embassy/Consulate, they will not be able to help you as such you did not enter that country on US Passport.

My concern is not with the English govt (from what I've read it's not a problem) but rather the US govt. I don't want the US govt to interpret my action as renoicing my US citizenship.
