55. What is an “American dual citizen”?
An American dual citizen is a person who has two or more citizenships, one of which is American.
For example, if you're born an American and you obtain St. Kitts citizenship by investment, you are now an American dual citizen (American-Kittsian). If you're born a Colombian and then naturalize in the United States, you're also now an American dual citizenship (Colombian-American).
The term matters because it lets us hone in on specific dual citizenship legal issues that pertain specifically to Americans who are dual citizens.
