Mikalee -
Thought you may be interested in knowing some other countries' positions on this:
- British citizens who hold a passport of another country may enter the UK on that foreign passport.
- Like Australia, US citizens in the same situation must use their US passports to enter the US.

Thanks

The main difference I understand between the Australian and American handling is that Australia recognises your dual nationality where as the US ignores it and doesn't acknowledge its existance.
I was lucky and did not discover the hard way.
A friend, who is Australian had a baby here in the UK and had already received a UK passport and the baby received its Austalian citezenship. At that stage she ran out of time to get the AUS passport and mentioned in passing to the Australia House staffer that it was "no worries I'll use her UK passport on the trip to Oz". He kindly pointed out that requirement and she got an express one issued.
If she hadn't already received citizenship it would not have been an issue.
