Why would that be?
At a major defense contractor years ago, and in defense-specific departments (unclassified roles), my group of 10 had:
- a Cuban-born (immigrated as a child) who never renounced;
- a Kuwait-born (same). (and her Iraq-born brother was in a parallel department)
- a Taiwan-born, not sure when she immigrated
- and the project leader was China-born (pre-revolution)
Now, I can imagine that in higher-security roles, things could be stricter, but I've never seen a public job listing that said dual-citizenship was a deal-breaker.
- hwstar 11y agoThe laws changed in 2005. Since then, every position I've applied for has stated that you must be prepared to renounce any non-US citizenship.
- aggieben 11y agoYou cannot hold dual citizenship and get a security clearance, and a clearance is required for many government contractors (certainly defense contractors, anyway).
