All he needs to do is to renounce it. Sign a little paper at the consulate, send it, and he is done. That easy.

Because your child is Polish? Is that in Russia? You should see a doctor.

I think you need to do that as in US to get top security clearance is not easy,esp if one needs to work in a sensitive area,for eg look at the general now had to resign cuz of his affair which is personal.Get your facts str8 and educate yourself.

I think it's the same in many countries including Poland. If you want to work for some gov institutions, you must not posses any other citizenship.

it's not done until Polish government approves it, which is not a given.

Dual citizenship does not disqualify you from getting a security clearance.

And considering the advantages of having Polish/EU citizenship (and the hassle of trying to get it back in a later point in time, if even possible), I feel its silly to give up something as serious as citizenship for a one-time project.
