>From what I understand, and Consul General Baehler confirmed this, one cannot lose the Swiss citizenship, no matter what. It used to be that Swiss women would lose it when marrying a foreign national IF they didn't formally declare that they wanted to keep their Swiss citizenship, but this law has been changed.

Hi Sarah,
Are you sure that you can keep your swiss citizenship? As far as I know,
you have to trade in your swiss citizenship. I am a dual citizen but only
because I was born here in the States. My parents (both swiss) lived here
in California for a couple of years.
If your absolutely sure about this, please let me know. Meanwhile I am
going to ask some friends of mine (swiss living in CA for over 30 years) if
it is possible to get a US passport and keep the swiss one.

Saalut Laurent,
Je ne connais pas de vrai probleme a la double nationalite. Il y avait une
clause autrefois reclamant qu'on jure de renoncer a toute "loyalty" a tout
gouvernement ou monarque etranger mais, aujourd'hui, ils ont prevu une
procedure qui ne demande meme plus ce serment. Il y a aussi une requete
qu'apres etre naturalise, quiconque ayant des obligations vis-a-vis de son
gouvernement precedent qui engendreraient un conflit avec ses devoirs de
citoyen americain en fasse part aux officiels americains. Je comprends que ces
deux faits montrent qu'on a tenu compte de la double nationalite aux USA.
Le probleme que je verrais pour certains jeunes hommes, c'est le service
militaire obligatoire en Suisse. Mais si la personne s'appelle Sarah, ce ne
doit pas etre un probleme non plus.
Si elle est vraiment inquiete, je lui conseille de contacter le consulat
suisse a San Francisco. Ils ont beaucoup de relations avec ce qu'ils appellent
les "Suisses-Americains". Ils doivent pouvoir repondre aux questions de Sarah
et ils ont toujours ete de bon conseil a des Suisses-Americains de ma connaissance.
Bon messages.
Philippe
