OP MoOli 9 | 479 13 Nov 2012 / #4I 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.
Grzegorz_ 51 | 6138 13 Nov 2012 / #5I 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.

pantsless 1 | 266 13 Nov 2012 / #7Dual 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.
