I have a bit of a tricky question, and I was wondering if anybody might have some insights.
Let's say a Permanent Resident was born in Australia, has Australian citizenship, filed all his documents as such, and holds a Green Card stating that he is an Australian national.
If the immigrant had the opportunity to obtain, for example, Belgian citizenship, and went ahead and did so, would that affect his LPR status in any way? If he retained his Australian citizenship (and obtained dual Australian-Belgian nationality), would that make a difference? If he gave up his Australian citizenship and became a Belgian national only, would he have to register that change and update his Green Card accordingly?
And, finally, would such a change have any effect on his prospects of naturalizing as a U.S. citizen later on?
I'm very curious about your insights; thanks so much for all comments.
