Living in paris

Ok I just had a quick question before I wasted my time even looking into doing this, k here I go... my mom and dad are full blooded French BUT were born here in America, but my grandparents however are full blooded French(and were born in France) and their parents and grandparents and so forth would there be any chance it would be easier for me to become a citizen or no? I'm pretty sure I do not have a dual citizenship, but yeah that was the question I had and if someone could be of any help to me that knows something about this it would be very helpful! Thanks so much:)

No, you haven't got dual citizenship and if your parents had been born in France then there would be no doubt that you would get citizenship too. I don't think it makes any difference on grandparents, and so on. But all the same, you can still live in France and maintain your US citizenship if you visit the States every six months.

If all your family is FULL BLOODED FRENCH,then there is no point you would be denied of the dual nationality,. obviously you should have the both nationalities. Well you can ask from the federation office or government authority for your nationality by submitting them the required documents. Or you can also visit your embassy to find out, if you are living in USA then go to French officials of the embassy to ask and inquire about it.

YOU SHOULD GET THE DUAL NATIONALITY, I think go find out.

How old are you? Regardless of your heritage, after the age of 18 you are only able to hold one citizenship. Children who have dual-citizenship (Say, born on foreign soil by American parents, or born on US soil by non-American parents) typically must choose to keep one or the other after a certain age (18 or 21 I beleive)
