Hi guys, I'm considering renouncing US citizenship and wondering if my idea would work.
I'm trying to obtain dual citizenship in Taiwan but as a US citizen, I am unable to get dual citizenship unless I renounce my US citizenship. I would be required to submit "Abdication Certificate of the Original Nation" for my new Taiwan citizenship to be processed.
So my questions are.
1. At what step of the process of renouncing would they provide that letter, is it after the interview? Or after U.S. Department of State makes a final decision?
2. After the interview, would it be possible to cancel the process?
I am trying to satisfy the Taiwan requirements to get my Taiwanese citizenship while also retaining my US one. I've heard this is a kind of loophole that has been done but I want to confirm with the experts in this forum. Any replies and info would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
To answer your question about the actual certificate - it came several months after the actual day I went to the embassy to do it. Basically you go through the process and it gets submitted to the US state dept. Once they approve it you get the certificate - you definitely don't get it the day of and by the time you get it, the process is completed, no backing out.
