Dual citizenship occurs when a person holds citizenship in two countries. This can occur at birth, particularly if a child is born while visiting another country and that country provides birth citizenship. In that case, the child would be granted citizenship to the country he or she was born in, and may still retain citizenship to the country that his or her parents are from. In other cases, adults can choose to become naturalized citizens of another country while retaining their previous citizenship.
One of the greatest things about being a member of my church is getting to meet people from all over the world. We bring missionaries in to speak for special events, and some of them bring guests from other countries with them. Last year, one man brought a woman and her child with him to an event, and they were the nicest people I have ever met. She told of her struggles at home and how she faced such extreme situations each day. Our church was able to help her get an immigration attorney and helped her stay in the country.
