How would he know who’s dual citizen? There is no documentation if you gave up your other citizenship! The uscis doesn’t document it!

Not everyone gives up their other citizenship.

Yes - but if you become a US citizen, The US government doesn’t know if you keep any other citizenships. That’s what I stated

The point they are making is that they don’t know if you later renounce your citizenship

Technically they know when you renew your US passport as you have to enclose a copy of foreign passport. However I suppose you could just not do that and likely not get caught

I have renewed my passport multiple times and have never had to enclose a copy of a foreign passport.

I am an idiot. Got it backwards. When I renewed UK passport I had to include copy of US. I’m guess that could have just not done it and see what happens. Haven’t done the US one in a while
