Hi Esmaeil. Your citizenship does not determine your eligibility in Kaggle competitions. Your residence does. If you currently reside in the US, and otherwise satisfy other eligibility requirements, you are eligible to participate.

From https://rhjgroup.net/what-is-dual-residency-pros-cons-and-how-it-can-affect-you

\n
\n

Dual residency is the situation in which a person holds two or more country residencies. This means they have permission to stay in, and usually work in, multiple countries.

\n
\n

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_nationality_law#

\n

But you explicitly said DUAL RESIDENT, not DUAL CITIZENSHIP, and apparently, IRAN doesnt acknowledge DUAL CITIZENSHIP

\n
\n

Iran does not recognize dual nationality, and considers dual citizens as Iranian citizens only.[6] Nevertheless, article 977 of the Civil Code of Iran deals with multiple citizenship. As a consequence of Paragraphs 4 or 5 of article 976, some Iranian minors may have multiple citizenship.

About Kaggle rules

\n
\n

Competitions are open to residents of the United States and worldwide, except if you are a resident of Crimea, so-called Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) or Luhansk People's Republic (LNR), Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, or are subject to U.S. export controls or sanctions, you may not enter the Competition.

\n
\n

And you said

\n
\n

(I'm a) Resident of Iran and US

\n
\n

So, regardless if you're a permanent resident of US, you are also a resident of Iran. So, you are not eligible.

\n

But of course, it would be best for Kagglestaff to clarify this, please reach out to them here https://www.kaggle.com/contact#/competitions/current/rules

\n

But, you can choose to enter, still, and if you do win a prize, then that's when the residency issues will become an issue.
