My US passport, as noted, always shows me leaving and returning, but not going anywhere. My other citizenship is actually represented by a passport with no stamps at all as it uses a "fast track" swipe card.
Interesting. I thought service in a foreign military by a U.S. citizen constitutes relinquishment of U.S. citizenship.

Foolish me. They just overlook that so they can ensure they can be entitled to collect taxes from you on your foreign income.

According to her, "lots of people who have dual citizenship just list their U.S. citizenship", and since GE is a program for admissibility to the U.S., this is fine.

Even so, the thought of not disclosing the other citizenship still makes me very, very nervous.
Not disclosing something you are not asked makes you nervous?

Suggest you relax some.
