Loss of Citizenship Under Two Immigration Provisions
Within a recent 12 month period about 1200 Americans lost citizenship under two immigration and naturalization law provisions. One provision strips citizenship from naturalized Americans who return to their native land and live there for three years. The other revokes citizenship of naturalized Americans who live abroad for five years. Native born Americans are not affected and remain American unless they swear allegiance to another country.
