That's a widely held misconception, and it's simply not true. The US
does not require dual citizens to choose one citizenship when they
reach a certain age.

Some other countries do have this type of requirement. So, a person
who
was a citizen of both the US and a country with such a requirement
would have to choose only one citizenship. But, it would be the other
country that is forcing him to make the choice, not the US. If neither
country requires a choice, then the person
can remain a dual citizen for life.

This website discusses the US policies on Dual Citizenship, along with
the many misunderstandings surrounding it. It is, surprisingly,
allowed in many/most cases.

choose Korea or here at the age of 18...guess I'll have to find out what
Korea thinks...

Didn't she go down with the Titanic?

No?

Hmm, too bad.

Canada allows dual citizenship...... maybe it's just a matter of
her
not
renouncing her Canadian citizen status.

As far as the US is concerned, she did renounce it, because the US
naturalization oath has a statement of renunciation. BUT, that
statement has no affect under Canadian law, and Canadian law
determines
who is and who isn't a Canadian citizen. So, while she must deal
with
the US as a US citizen, she can continue to deal with Canada as a
Canadian because Canada says that she is a Canadian.

I thought that there are some countries with which one can hold dual
citizenship... Canada being one of them.

A US citizen can be a dual citizen with any other country that also
allows
dual citizenship. The US doesn't have special agreements to allow dual

citizenship. It's allowed because there are no laws which prohibit it.

An interesting article, but there are several blatently incorrect
statements in it.

The statement that Britain considers citizenship to be irrevocable, for
example. That's incorrect. If a British citizen wants to give up his
citizenship, he can do so by visiting a British consulate and signing a
statement of renunciation.

That's just one of several inaccuracies.
