Hi Jayanand,

I am not Daniel, but I am in a similar situation; I have dual US and  
Polish citizenship. The US generally permits this, so whether it is  
possible or not depends on whether the other country does--for  
example, Denmark does not (that is how I lost my Danish citizenship,  
when I became a US citizen in 1987).

Cheers,
Nathan
