depends on the EU country I believe - most of them require some form of US-Visit or other electronic application...

Lisa Zee,

"Most U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States."

Plus, if a US dual citizen tries to leave the US without a US passport, they're going to ask you how you entered the country on your other passport without getting a stamp. They probably won't even let you leave.

njc: I say the same thing, you need the US passport to leave and enter the USA. They think that showing her birth certificate will show she is American when she come in to the USA. They claim, she entered the States from South Africa, few years ago.

I am very worried for the girl, it would be so very sad if she can even leave. The parents will mail her the passport to Medellin when it arrives?!. She will stay for 3 weeks.

Thanks so much for the responses. I will let you know tomorrow what happened!

Before the girl left, the parents ask immigration if she could come back with the same European passport and they said yes?!.

What happen to: if you are born in the US, and have dual citizenship, you have to leave and enter the US with an Us Passport???
