Gee, I remember taking an oath in which we were required to renounce our allegiance to our home countries. I don't remember the actual wording but it seemed clear to me that they would therefore frown upon people holding 'dual' status. Now, of course, this was just a
verbal statement. We were not asked to physically demonstrate our intent (say, by handing over any other passport we might be holding or submitting a formal letter to our country of origin).
