In response to the above post from 'friendly advice from maine'
Incorrect.
Loss of citizenship (INA § 349, 8 USC § 1481)
Section 349 of the INA [8 USC § 1481] specifies several conditions under which US citizenship may be lost. These include:
* becoming a naturalized citizen of another country, or declaring allegiance to another country, after reaching age 18;
* serving as an officer in a foreign country's military service, or serving in the armed forces of a country which is engaged in hostilities against the US;
* working for a foreign government (e.g., in political office or as a civil servant);
* formally renouncing one's US citizenship before duly authorized US officials; or
* committing treason against, or attempting or conspiring to overthrow the government of, the US.
The primary effect of recent developments in the US regarding dual citizenship has been to add the requirement that loss of citizenship can only result when the person in question intended to give up his citizenship. At one time, the mere performance of the above (or certain other) acts was enough to cause loss of US citizenship; however, the Supreme Court overturned this concept in the Afroyim and Terrazas cases, and Congress amended the law in 1986 to require that loss of citizenship would result only when a potentially "expatriating" (citizenship-losing) action was performed voluntarily and "with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality".
On 16 April 1990, the State Department adopted a new policy on dual citizenship, under which US citizens who perform one of the potentially expatriating acts listed above are normally presumed not to have done so with intent to give up US citizenship. Thus, the overwhelming majority of loss-of-citizenship cases nowadays will involve people who have explicitly indicated to US consular officials that they want to give up their US citizenship.

you get an apostille of your marriage certificate, (you get it in the registration office of your state that usually is in the capita of your state) and bring later it to australia register office, they will give you a certificate of marriage and give you back your apostille american certificate, that will mean he is an australian too. this is call double nationality. It takes some time but is wort it.
I believe that is a question should be answered by the Australian Immigration Dept. If my memory serves me correct, the Australian govt has more spine than ours by telling non law abiding non- citizens to take a hike several months ago? Good luck on your marriage, and getting the lucky dude a citizenship of Australia.
If you read the United States laws on citizenship. No american born citizen may be allowed to have dual citizenship. You can come from a different country and become a American and have dual citizenship. But not the other way around.
I will post a link soon.
have you no self respect? hock the ring,go out on the town and drop the american pie.
Well congratulations dear. I'm an Australian citizen who is engaged to a guy who is African.
We are also having some trouble in getting him here but he is getting a visa first to come here and then we are marrying here and over there so both of our families can be at our wedding.
There is one way you can do it. Type in immigration on the google and when you come accross the one for Australia go into that one. I can't remember the actual site name at the moment, but there is a visa where he can lodge over there to come here, but you must be married with in 9 months. I was thinking of this visa for us but it is alot of responsablity on our part.
All I can say is good luck and may you find a way to be together and become one as I hope to do with my beloved as well
