The Norwegian politicians are right to be concerned about dual nationality making it harder to control the scourge of arranged/child marriages from 3rd world cultures. It’s an insidious practice, happens often in the UK and extremely hard to police once the ‘horse has bolted’. Perhaps if they were able to control which country’s citizens could apply for 2 passports (e.g. exclude places like Pakistan and India) it might help things. The problem does not occur or is extraordinarily rare in 1st world nations.

In reply to John Seibel. There is no such thing as “1/2 Norwegian” in immigration law - someone is either a Norwegian citizen or they are not.

In reply to Anniken. What if your mother was only 1/2 Norwegian, can you become a Norwegian citizen?

In reply to Michele. Excuse me, but I am fascinated that someone can live ten years in a society and “not speak the language.” As someone who speaks 5+ languages, I find that astounding. In a decade you have lived among a population yet have had no real desire to communicate and participate with them in the local language. That is quite sad, actually. Good luck in any case!

I’m also born and raised in Vesterålen, Norway. After sailing in the Merchant Marine and visiting the USA, I fell in love with this country and immigrated here in 1959. After I married, I thought I’d better file for citizenship as suggested to me. I was also told that by doing so, I gave up my Norwegian citizenship, and now I’d like to re-establish it. What do I have to do next?

In reply to Maurice Bergman. Maybe I will get my Norwegian citizenship back and become a dual citizen? Sounds good to me. 👍 Heidi In California

Good luck Tina. I’ve been in the US since i was 8. I’m grateful for the journey, but where do i belong ? My kids and grand kids are here in the US. You can’t go back. One has to think forward . The US is a very complicated country.

In reply to Faye Ramskog. As that is an issue between the US and Sweden, I can't answer that. You should check the rules on citizenship for children with both countries.
