The law must have changed then. The last person I talked to about dual citizenship (not that long ago!) told me that US law did NOT recognize it. You forsake all other allegiances as you said. I’d like to see a link to the new law.

My Filipina wife can have dual citizenship (she doesn't, but it's available), and it helps ONLY in the Philippines, allowing her to own property and be in business and be an American citizen as well.

I, as her spouse cannot own property and I have limited ownership in a business (I think it's 40%, but don't quote me)

My wife is happy to be an American citizen and has little desire to maintain any connection to The Philippines.
