I'm 17 and was born in Charlotte, North Carolina. My parents however were Australian citizens and on that basis I received Australian citizenship and an Aus passport. I spent most of my life living in Singapore and Melbourne but would love to live in Boston someday. I'm worried though because I heard the US only allows dual-citizenship to Americans born abroad (unlike my opposite scenario). However I'm sure that parents renouncing the US citizenship and birthright of a minor isn't allowed either.
Where does this leave me? Is it really as simple as me bringing my birth certificate to an embassy and getting a US passport in addition to my Australian one? Or has my citizenship been compromised? Thank you in advance.
