Lying During Naturalization Process
If the government finds that you lied or misrepresented yourself in any way during the naturalization process you went through to gain citizenship, they can revoke your Certificate of Naturalization, and therefore your citizenship. This includes telling a lie or not telling the entire truth when working with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) or Immigration and Nationalization Services (INS).
Act of Treason
Treason is a serious crime in the United States. If you are convicted of treason, it means that you've worked with foreign powers or with another political group to overthrow or bring down the U.S. government. It also includes working with another nation to fight a violent war against the U.S. Even if you are a citizen by birth, you can lose your citizenship by doing this.
Serving in Armed Forces Against the U.S.
If your native country is at war with the United States, you may not serve for their armed forces while retaining your U.S. citizenship. If you have dual citizenship with a country that is warring with the U.S., your citizenship is secure as long as you don't engage in direct or indirect combat with the United States.
Serving as an Armed Forces Officer
It is perfectly okay as a dual citizen of the United States and another nation to serve in your native country's armed forces, as long as that country is not at war with the U.S. However, you are not allowed to take a position as an officer of any branch of that nation's armed forces while retaining your United States citizenship.
Holding Policy-Level Position Abroad
If you work as an elected or other type of policy-making official in your home country, you run the risk of losing your United States citizenship. However, if you simply work in an embassy or other governmental office and hold no law-making power within your position, your citizenship in the United States remains fairly safe.
Refusal to Testify
Within 10 years of gaining naturalized citizenship, you must be willing to testify before Congress about any suspected subversive activities, or you will lose your citizenship. Normally, American citizens have a right not to testify against themselves in the court of law, but until you have been a naturalized citizen for 10 years or more, you don't have this right if you are brought before Congress.
