I will be applying to the DO this year but am also in the process of acquiring dual citizenship to a european country through my parents, I WAS BORN IN THE USA. My main reason would be to have options to live and work in the EU, down the line, if I do not get accepted to CIA or if they dont like me or vice versa. If I am not tied to bad people and ALL immediate family lives in the US and holds US citizenship, would holding dual citizenship or having interest to acquire it be a reason for disqualification? |

CASE NUMBER: 02-28320.h1
Foreign Preference; Foreign Influence
03/10/2005
Applicant, a citizen of Israel through operation of Israeli law and of the U.S. from birth, was raised in Israel from age 7 to age 17. On graduating from high school in the U.S., he served in the Israeli Defense Forces as required of all non-exempt young Israeli citizens. Since returning to the U.S. to live permanently in 1985, he actively exercised his foreign citizenship by acquiring and using an Israeli passport so that he could travel to Israel. The foreign preference concerns created by his military service for Israel and his possession and use of a foreign passport are mitigated by his significant ties to the U.S., and his surrender of the passport to Israeli authorities with expressed renunciation of his Israeli citizenship. The foreign influence concerns raised by his brother's dual citizenship (Israel and U.S.) and Israeli residency are mitigated as his brother is not an agent of the Israeli government nor in a position where he is likely to be exploited. Clearance is granted.
